Not really. The whole story is that she was forced to "tone down" because the gay lobby hit her sponsorship so hard. Plus, the affliates that carried her didn't want to put her on at the scheduled time, so she drew some weird time slots. That started the whole chain reaction.
If the left "no free speech" crowd would have not spread half truths (like PJ), she might have had a chance to be tough and develop a better format. It might not have worked, but we'll never know.
You need to look up "hypocrite" in the dictionary. She didn't pose for the photos and have the affair at the same time as she was preaching against immorality.
So when she admitted that it was her in the pictures, that she had made some mistakes when she was younger, it was really a denial? So when the 10 million or so listeners thought that they were hearing a confession, it was really a denial?
Kind of like the criticism I have heard of Keyes' show on MSNBC. He is SO good when he outlines his views, and the rationale therefor, but he is forced to conform to this ridiculous "talking head" format where both (or multiple) sides are presented and he moderates. Dr. L did the same thing. She lost her regulars (me) and she never had the others.
And according to the California Board of Behavioral Science Examiners, no one is allowed to use the title "Doctor" unless they are a medical doctor or a professor in the psychological field with a clinical license.... And "Dr." Laura has a PHd in physiology---not psychology.
So don't try to argue with the all-knowing, all-seeing Dr. PJ, the font of all wisdom---and a morally superior fellow.
Haahaha! A real comix -- that was!
Not trying to hound you, just reminding you not to throw stones in glass houses.
Title Nazi's!
Baloney. I know plenty of profs in CA with doctrates using the title.
I think you have half of the truth once again. She's not using the title to practice psychology and she doesn't claim to do that on her show. She says repeatedly, which you'd hear if you *really* listened, that she does a show on moral issues. She also has clarified what her training and degrees are thousands of time. Perhaps you are practicing "selective hearing." It's a common trait for those who are also practioners of "half truths."
Exactly!
Which is apparently why PJ objects to a show that focues on questions of morality.
Maybe. But it's easier to see that from here than it is in the middle of all of the protests and lies that were being printed by the "unbiased" mainstream press. Sometimes when you're in the thick of things, life ain't so clear.
It was a LIE and a denial when she first denied the pics were of her. Oddly enough she at first claimed copyright rights to those pics that she said weren't her. Later, faced with overwhelming evidence, she made her admission.
Dr. PJ is much better than this. He won't retract his lies.... Dr. Laura is completely sane.----And don't expect me to retract that lie...today.
Order me a front row seat! Dr. Laura RULES!!
I'll pledge $100 !
Hillary looks way more indecent with her clothes ON!
Phsiology is in the field of anatomy but is not a medical degree. Dr. PJ earned his degree from Quack University and is a fully qualified doctor of almost everything.
