Politics: How Dr. Laura fell out of favor and ended her show in only a week
- 08/10 Dr. Laura took a phone call from a black caller in an interracial marriage that involved using the “N” word nearly a dozen times.
- 08/11 After getting ripped on or the call, she apologized, saying that her response to the caller was the “wrong thing.” Sorry about that.
- 08/16 The liberal blog Media Matters for America decided to go after her show’s sponsors over the comments. They drew blood.
- 08/17 Unlike Glenn Beck, Dr. Laura folded immediately, announcing on “Larry King Live” that her show was ending. source
