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.

“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? “
Congress? The Senate?
“Not to worry Ann. Noone watches it anyway”
What is NBC?
bump
The least Ann could do is send NBC a thank you note!

Film Director? Oliver Stone owes all his new anti Bush work to that classic hit “Alexander The Great”.
they’re not keen on people who are so critical of obama....what’s funny is how the bias is so entrenched that they’re oblivious to it now. i don’t recall this being the prevailing attitude at any news station when Bush was elected. i can’t wait to read this book.
I assume your last question was rhetorical....
“Whose life, Ann’s or NBC?”
ROTFLMAO!!! NBC isn’t making it. I would expect anyone appearing on NBC would be hurting their career.
Well everybody know network news and MSNBC is dying
Who care
“Ban this punk(s)”...
Life! What is that in Network years. Two maybe?
"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."
Thus proving her entire point. ROTFLMAO! I bet they don't even see the irony.
Riiiiggggghhhtt...So NBCABCCBSMSNBC and all of the hollywood film studios and almost all of the weekly and monthly periodicals are going to magically go out of business in, what,the next two or three years. If you really believe that, I've got some prime real estate to sell you.
It's a fantasy. The media in its CURRENT form is going NOWHERE. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
If conservative politicians don't start fighting back - and I mean really fighting - the liberal slant to the MSM will just get worse.
NBC? What’s NBC? OOOHHHHHH - are they still around? Gosh, I haven’t watched them in years!
It’s their loss, not hers. She should be proud!
Who the heck is Perez Hilton? Any relation to the blond bimbo?
And the MSM selected the Republican "front-runners" at a time which would guarantee the depletion of war chests and fomented as much animosity among the right as they could with a selection of lukewarm candidates which would not appeal to the Conservative Base of the Party.
I would not beat the drum of their demise just yet, either.
The power they exert among the lazy and ill-informed is tremendous.
Never, never underestimate the power of (and danger inherent in) large groups of stupid people--and the MSM is molding their worldview with every carefully selected camera angle and word.
The real question is: how'd that work out for EE? Her DUmmie Underground postings reeked of chemobrain and scorned woman ...
What a coincidence. I’ve banned NBC News and MSNBC from my viewing, for life!
In the name of fairness Fox should immediately ban an outspoken, intelligent, attractive, liberal like...ummm, ahhh...nevermind.
