Dr. Laura Bids Radio Adieu

Last night, radio host and author Laura Schlessinger appeared on “Larry King Live” to announce her decision to leave her radio show.

Schlessinger recently made headlines following on-air comments that included a racial slur. On her show, Schlessinger suggested that a caller was being overly sensitive regarding racially-charged words. She went on to say that certain members of the black community frequently used “the n-word” in conversation with one another. Schlessinger has since apologized for her comments, but noted that, in years past, people hadn’t tried to “censor” her or “destroy an opposing view.”
