Re: Was Dr Laura Schlessinger treated fairly?
Socialite:
I don't think Dr. Laura exercised good judgment. However, the question on this thread is whether or not we think the media has treated her fairly.  Since she didn't *call" any person or group the *n* word, then my answer is no--they aren't treating her fairly. It was a reference to the word being used in media--and an accurate reference at that. It really was her reaction to the caller that was in poor taste--moreso IMO than the use of the word itself.
IMO, she is being unfairly attacked because she's a conservative, and possibly, secondarily, because she's white--although I'm not as convinced about the latter motive.
