Well-written post full of snark:

However, the on-air personalities remain the same, including this woman they call “Delilah” in the evenings, some nationally syndicated personality who is made to sound local. Like the title of this post suggests, I have proof that this economy hasn’t hit rock bottom, and this Delilah is the proof.

In case you’ve never heard a wee little bit of her show, and I don’t recommend you do, her gimmick is that almost entirely white and (what sounds to be) middle to upper middle class people ranging from early middle to middle aged, mostly women, most of those probably soccer moms, with a minority representation of beta males for good measure, the kind of people who really haven’t had anything close to a quantifiable struggle or problem in their lives, pretend they have real problems, call Delilah up and tell her those non-problems, then she pretends to empathize, then fades out to play an Elton John song she and her pretend empathy dedicates to their pretend problems.
I chuckled heartily. I have to admit, I tune in for the Michael Bolton.

Before I had my own car I was subjected to that station a lot. My mom thought it was "touching" ...it's nauseatingly pretentious. I'm not sure if she still listens to it.

I've tuned in when channel surfing and she's on a station with the strongest transmitter in the mountains. Then I end up switching over to CD. The analysis that Jesda had in the OP was spot on.

I googled her, my wife listens sometimes and the only thing that got my attention was her voice. Her advice is wishy-washie..
