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.
Developing...
Why the hell do liberals think they need a fairness doctrine?
Yep, but then, so are most conservative women.
Since when is NBC worried about accuracy?
“Obama is prepared to really take power and begin to RULE from day one
Good point. Could you imagine the sound of squealing the libs would do if Michael Moore was banned for life from Fox News?
Media Matters has examined a copy of Ann Coulter's new book, Guilty, and presents a sampling of the book's numerous falsehoods. These falsehoods include her defense of claims made against Sen. John Kerry by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth; her assertion that "Fox News has never been caught promoting a fraud"; and her claim that President-elect Barack Obama was referring to Gov. Sarah Palin when he said "you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig."Swift Boat Vets were right, Kerry is a trump. I can't speak for the Fox News claim, not enough context, but the first presumption would be against "Media Matters" -- they are propagandists and slander purveyors. And it's clear from the poltical context at the time of his statement that cad Obama was slamming Palin with that vile remark.
Congratulations to Ann! You ROCK!!! I like her even more! Now I HAVE to go buy her books...who’s got a favorite to recommend?
Does she make Little Chrissy wet his pants?
Did they give any reason why? Hmmm, wonder if this is a clever marketing ploy.
Amazing. This would be the same “network” that gave Michael Moore and Kitty Kelley a week of interviews each to promote their scurulous projects “Fahrenheit 9/11” and libelous biography of George Bush. This would be the same network that cuts a check to that malicious piece of scum Keith Olberman.
Yeah...they sure got standards. Okay, well no Annie? Fine. Every conservative politician should refuse Hardball and Meet and Press and refuse questions by NBC reporters.
Media Matters needs to be investigated and soon.
MONDAY - FIRST INTERVIEW ON NEW BOOK!
- HANNITY RADIO AND HANNITY & COLMES (AND THEN COLMES RADIO
-- I LOVE THOSE GUYS!)TUESDAY - CBS EARLY SHOW! 7:30 A.M.
TODAY SHOW AND TODAY SHOW FOURTH HOUR: CANCELLED!
I guess this ends the "they just want to get ratings" argument about liberal media bias
Don’t forget about Bill Maher. Maher is one of the most controversial liberals (and assholes) on TV, if you ask me. But is he banned from NBC? Of course not.
Wasn’t there an old television channel named “NBC”?
How tolerant and diverse of them!
Categorically incorrect. NBC's today is perennially the highest rated morning show. People do watch and those people also vote.
The "Mainstream Media Deathwatch" that is chanted so often and with such passion here is powerfully premature. Republicans and conservatives that think that the MSM doesn't have incredible power (more power than at any other time in the history of electronic media)do so at their own peril.
The MSM selected, promoted and carried Barack Obama across the finish line. Without them, he wouldn't have been elected (even with an $800 million war chest). The fact that Ann Coulter is banned is a bad, bad event. Who's next? Soon, only conservatives that liberals approve of will have a voice on broadcast television.
This is a horrible sign for the continuation of the republic.
NBC is selling her book for her. Good job, dumbasses. I’ll buy it.
NBC was banned in our house years ago.
Or as I like to call it................an extra 2million in sales............
