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.

I actually have some problems with Coulter on some subjects... but now I absolutely HAVE to buy the book.

In fact, I might buy TWO copies.

I have no idea why anyone would lower themselves to go on NBC anyway..I never would have know Ann was on NBC until I read it here..Next we will have Rush banned from the network he is on..we will soon have to go to the underground like China and the rest of the commie countries to hear the truth..

Haven’t watched NBC or MSNBC in years. Don’t miss anything about them. Hope they crash and burn soon.

If she was it was a good change for her. You see the sex change of that 007 lady Caroline cossey she turned out hot looking.
I think there are kid photos of her coulter.

When Ted Turner had CNN leverage with Time Warner, he wanted to purchase NBC because he thought it would make a perfect fit.
When Steve Case tried to sell Time Warner’s executive Jet fleet , AOL had to be killed.

Time Warner lost about 80% of it’s value protecting that jet fleet.Ironically, Turner may have been the biggest loser....he lost a zillion on that one.
That’s why today, Turner and Time Warner don’t own NBC.
The day may come though when NBC buys CNN.....

Stupid move on Zucker's part. Ann will riff on this for months. He'll be out of a job while she's selling millions of books.

By the way, is there any profession outside of NFL coach and media executive where you can be a total f*ckup and still get another job in the same industry?

Wat? Pirate stations are dead. China got satellite and watch the BBC. Whether or not it's the truth is a completely different matter.

"in order to keep a certain small moonbat segment watching endlessly. In third place, as it perpetually turns out."

I wish that were true. The Today show is clearly the highest rated morning television news show. It is a cash cow for the network, buoying the bottom line while evening programming has been in the tank for the last 6-7 years.

I'm sure that there are "moonbats" that watch, but there are also a TREMENDOUS number of ideologically unaffiliated people (mostly women) that watch. These are the kind of people that swing elections to one side or the other.

Having a news show ban one of the most powerful conservative voices, when frankly there aren't that many conservatives voices to begin with - is deeply troubling.

If conservatives don't stop pretending that the MSM is dying and don't wield any power, it's going to be losing elections for a very, very long time.

Incidentally, Drudge is reporting that Coulter is being replaced by Perez Hilton.
