What Dobson was good at is gone.
Evangelicals are waking up to the realization (sorry;^) he’ll align with whomever he needs to and nostalgia isn’t going to change his agenda.

Dobson is far from the only qualified person dispensing parenting advice.
I don’t know any of his operations that haven’t gone political and expansionist.
Pumping out and pushing more product doesn’t make the product better. Pretending he is merely running a media empire doesn’t cut it either.

And it’s become apparent to some that have bought what he sells on the family side (evangelical fused psychology) that his politics are sneaking into even his kid-related stuff.
No surprise there.

Summary: He’s got an arrogant streak and is too wedded to the conservative wing of the GOP; this is coming from someone who is largely a part of that faction.

However, when he sticks to the evangelical-fused psychology that is the focus of his ministry, he does a rather good job. That’s something that gets lost in the culture-warrior clutter.
