This just gave Ann more material for her next book. “The Hacks and the Quacks at the networks.”

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.

But executives at NBC TODAY replaced Coulter with showbiz reporter Perez Hilton, who recently offered $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at Ann Coulter. Hilton is also launching a new book this week, RED CARPET SUICIDE.

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.

Developing...

MediaMatters seem to be run by a bunch of whiney subteens without a grasp of irony, parody, freedom to infer, except when practiced by the far left, of course.

And as for lies --- that's = "whatever we don't agree with, or have a different opinion about."

Puerile and lame.

The left is just trying to distract attention from trans-sexual Keith Olberdork, who likes to “service” Chrissy Matthews whenever CM has a tingle in his leg (they pretend to be hostile rivals, but that’s just to divert attention away from their obsessive lust for each other).

NBC in 5 years will just be one of billions of URLs on the Internet.

I think you're right, maybe not in 5 years but soon. This is a fact that the old guard refuse to accept, and will fight tooth and nail. When Gutenberg created the printing press, he made old handwritten manuscripts obsolete overnight, but it took decades before that finally became accepted. At one point, the papal court considered limiting printing to those with a church license as a means of limiting it and retaining their control. But in the end, they couldnt stop it and the mainstream media cannot stop their own inevitable decline. They will wail and probably get some government subsidy and maybe we'll see some effort to regulate the internet so they get some sort of license for news and others are forbidden in an ironic assault on free speech in the name of old media firms, sort of like record companies trying to stop digital music. They may drag it out but in the end it simply will not be stopped.

“Whose life, Ann’s or NBC?”

Whichever is longer - probably Ann’s.

“We’ve finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don’t want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States.” — Ann Coulter

I was referring to this as a faux cause célèbre to incite the nutroots to buy whatever brand of tampons Madcow is selling tonight. If you can't follow the narrative, more's the pity.

Today Show jelloheads are bought and sold by campaign ads. You fit right in, noob. Quelle dommage.

A weak septugenarian candidate -- who spent 1/3rd of what Tiger Obamawoods spent -- lost. What a freakin shock. Who could have guessed? Maybe not you...

You did get one thing Wright -- the MSM is dying, and we are the wooden stake in the heart. Lead, follow, or get the complete and absolute f*ck out of my way.

Is it a waste of time to read lefty websites?

Not really, it's amusing.

But it is a waste of time to read lefty loonies joining this site just to post crap.

Just saying...

On the lefty websites there’s a rumor out there that Ann Coulter was born male but had a sex change operation.

Oh, if only Alan Colmes and Bob Beckel were banned for life from Fox Cable.

But Fox still believes in freedom of the press and would never do such a thing.

NBC believes in brute force and censorship.

NBC = Nazis Ban Coulter".

Can you write the “Cliff Notes” summary here, page by page, as you read the book? Pretty please?? :^)

You will win eternal FReeper gratitude from millions, well, thousands, and that is worth a lot.

Read Treason. Definitely her best work, a real eye-opener, even to this rock-ribbed conservative.

Upon further review, I have determined that Rachel Maddow used to be a man. (OK, maybe he has a way to go yet.)
