Susan Sarandon and the other left-wing thought police who tried to force Dr. Laura Schlessinger from the airwaves can go have a good cry: Her ratings are up, up, up.
Talkers magazine says Dr. Laura's "stunning accomplishment" is an increased audience during Operation Iraqi Freedom, when programmers, radio execs and other so-called experts figured the war coverage would leave her out in the cold.
"These skeptics have been proven wrong," the magazine's June issue reports. "Clearly the baseline of what is considered talk radio's core constituency is longer and larger than was previously assessed. ... The big winner is talk radio, in general."
Schlessinger has "stablized comfortably at a lofty perch just behind Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, as the third most listened-to talent in the business," tied with Howard Stern.
