NBC BANS COULTER FOR LIFE; CUT FROM 'TODAY' SHOW OVER BOOK'S CLAIMS, NO MORE CABLE
Mon Jan 05 2009 17:50:57 ET
The nation's top selling conservative author has been banned from appearing on NBC, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
Banned for life!
"We are just not going to have her on any more, it's over," a top network source explains.
NBC's TODAY show abruptly cut Ann Coulter from its planned Tuesday broadcast, claiming the schedule was overbooked.
Coulter was set to unveil her new book, GUILTY.
But one network insider claims it was the book's theme -- a brutal examination of liberal bias in the new era -- that got executives to dis-invite the controversialist.
"We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," a TODAY insider reveals. "It's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."
For the book, Coulter reportedly received the most-lucrative advance ever paid to a conservative author.
The TODAY show eagerly invited the author months ago, for her first network interview on GUILTY.
The exclusive was to air during the show's 7 AM hour. The cut came Monday afternoon.
Executives at NBC TODAY replaced Coulter with showbiz reporter Perez Hilton, who recently offer $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at Ann Coulter. Hilton is also launching a new book this week, RED CARPET SUICIDE.
Developing...
Media Splatters.... Yeah, right.
She appears to be bravely trying to rebuild her life and move on.
I just got notice from Amazon that they have shipped the book. I can’t wait to read it.
Ann’s just on the cutting edge of the Fairness Doctrine.
Hissy Matthews announced that he no longer will have to piss his pants now.
He tried to sandbag her with Elizabeth Edwards and was crowing about it.
How’d that work out for you Hissy?
Now the jerkoffs just gave up. They can’t handle her. She rips them to shreds every time. And this after they plan for weeks trying to get her with their biased questions.
She just blisters them anyway and then they hem and haw as they can’t think on their feet. At best they just talk over her and take away her air time.
You go girl!! I”m buying this book if it’s the last damn thing I do.
Coulter's 'Today' show interview canceled
I don't doubt NBC would follow the recommendations of David Brock and his band. They probably go to the same leather bars.
It's just her usual stuff. Inflammatory? Sure. But certainly no more than what Keith Olbermann or various Hollywood types say/write every day.
As usual, it's only offensive if it comes from a conservative.
and it is mediamatters who is doing the hatchet job.
All the Drive by incompetents will just repeat the mediamatters lie.

Product Description
In her most controversial and fiercely argued book yet, Ann Coulter calls out liberals for always playing the victim — when in fact, as she sees it, they are the victimizers. In GUILTY, Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. GUILTY is a mordantly witty and shockingly specific catalog of offenses which Coulter presents from A to Z. And as with each of her past books, all of which were NYT bestsellers, Coulter is fearless in her penchant for saying what needs saying about politics and culture today.
Mailman just delivered mine!
Whoo-hoo!!!!
Go Ann, Go!!
>>The alleged reason. <<
Thanks for that link. I don’t share the appreciation most Freepers seem to feel for Ann but this latest book seems less controversial than usual for her.
I guess NBC forgot all about the gas tanks report on GM truck.
Anybody see the irony in this story?
Next book? Now that would be funny. Shades of Reid and Limbaugh!
I bet Coulter outlives NBC anyway.
This is the opening act of the fairness doctrine coming to a screen near you.
First we outlaw dissention in the legislature by not giving the miniority any say what so ever, then we get the right wingers off the airways, then we burn their books. Sound like 1936 Germany?
The Obama Fuhrer and his demonazi party.
I was wondering...who’s pulling the strings at NBC these days?
