Whats with her feud with Howard Stern?
DL pulled out of negotiations for a tv series with Eyemark Entertainment, a CBS television syndication subsidiary, when Eyemark announced plans for a weekly television show starring Howard Stern, to start in August 1998. “It’s true,” she told Michael Starr of the New York Post last week. “I thought it was morally incompatible programming to have Eyemark developing and distributing shows so divergent.” (‘Dr. Laura Won’t Take On The Day With CBS-TV’) http://www.radiodigest.com/news/1998/nat_041098_cbs-tv_dr_laura.htm Ironically, she hasn’t applied this standard to the radio stations broadcasting her show, nor to the publisher of her books, nor to setting up her own website even though she condemns the Internet. For that matter, she didn’t apply this ‘moral incompatibility’ standard to her appearance on Oprah to promote her book – although Oprah is ‘shacking up’.) At any rate, this precipitated or escalated a feud with Howard Stern, which has been running hot ever since.
