She has straight on advice 90% of the time and I agree with most of that advice.
That said, I was totally turned off when a few yrs. ago a listener called with the dilemna of a job problem. Laura asked her if she had any children and the caller replied one. She then proceeded to lamblast the caller about her ultimate role being a stay at home mom. She ridiculed the caller that she was worshipping the almight dollar more than her family. The caller never mentioned a husband or anyone other than her daughter.
Who is Dr. Laura to lamblast a caller , not knowing anything about this woman. Maybe she was a widow. Maybe her husband is unemployed.
The condescending manner in which this poor caller was treated was unexcusable.
See post #58 in this thread for an exhaustive explanation of this.
