Ann is bright enough to know who she is dealing with, so I'll bet she gets paid and Today doesn't have exclusive. She'll sell the rejected articles elsewhere, get paid twice and we'll see her wit just the same.
That's called a "kill fee" and usually it's a small percentage, say 5 or 10 percent, along with a return of rights to the author. Usually when an editor pays in full, they own in full.
But I'd bet Coulter's agent negotiates something more favorable than the standard rates.
