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.

All this from a one-word entry on her homepage. Not sure I would read all this into it yet. People get rescheduled on talk shows all the time.

She will profit massively from this, solid 30% increase in sales over prior books. Good for her!

She’s on Hannity as I speak this; but she’s talking “cancellation” of this show, hasn’t been spoken of as “banned for life”.

Someone will create a chart of “Guilty” [current book] sales, “BFL” [proposed book] and the stock price of GE [parent of NBC] about a year from now.

If it’s not true, I expect to see a LOT of libel lawsuits aimed at her.

The MSM is on its deaths throes, wounded animals attack anything that comes near them, obviously she is causing them so much grievous pain they felt they had to forbid her from their waning shows.

You reap what you sow MSM.

You lost your credibility when you allowed yourself to be a political whore, and there is no cure for what you picked up now.

Personnaly, I believe that she just does outrageous stuff to get attention, whether she actually believes in the stuff or not.

What did she say to merit this honor? ;)

That NBC was no longer a news organization but a mouthpiece of the DNC? lol! Can’t ban a girl for speaking the truth, unless you are a National Socialist.

NBC banned Ann?

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

Is there any truth to that?

Is it a waste of time to read lefty websites?
