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.

Well, as far as Fox is concerned, I think they’ve seen the “Fairness” doctrine coming down the pike for a while, so there is never a conservative on there without a liberal “minder”. Ever.

“In addition to being beautiful, compassionate tribunes of the downtrodden, liberals are brave. I know that because they’re always telling me how brave they are. Why, five nights a week, MSNBC’s Keith Olberman courageously books guests who completely agree with him! It doesn’t get much braver than that.”

-Ann Coulter in “Guilty”

I LOVE IT!!!...lol

‘You know it. Maybe Oprah will invite Ann to come on her show to discuss this, since Sarah Palin has basically told Ms FatAzz to shove it, LOL ‘

Did she really?

If conservatives don't figure out how to reach these "great unwashed", we will never win another national election.

Good post. Got any suggestions beyond Bush/McCain style "bipartisanship" [read: caving]?

Well, guess that means I'll be buying her book. Not that there was much doubt. After all, it was while reading Slander that I first heard of these people called "Freepers".

that leaves the question was it self censorship (by NBC) or did someone from the top of government do it?

We need to hire private detectives to investigate NBC-MSNBC . All of them, from the janitor to the top! Just like THEY did to the Honorable Governor Palin. If they think we have forgotten that , they are mistaken! And they had better be filing their IRS and paying it too! Or it will be reported to IRS !
