I'd rephrase that. The voice of hypocrisy is more appropriate. Like 
the apology of Michael Savage, hers was because advertisers were 
dropping like flies.

I have to take partial blame for that. At WOR I received an angry 
call from a representative of GLAAD threatening to picket WOR for 
running the show. First, I let them know we didn't carry it. We had 
the real psychologist, Dr. Joy Browne. I advised them never to picket 
a station. It just draws additional media attention and gives her 
publicity she couldn't afford to buy. I suggested they contact 
mainstream advertisers who shy away from bigotry and similar 
controversy. I gave them the ABC list of major advertisers who demand 
their spots not air in "controversial" programming. It worked.
