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.

Media Matters can write whatever tripe they please, Coulter’s crime is being a conservative.

I watch Chuck, My name is Earl and the office...but for the most part we dont watch any network TV at all, relying mostly on playing old TV show on the DVD player or old movies like “Becket” or “Zulu”.
Network Tv sux bigtime.

Not the world's biggest Coulter fan (libertine Slob Guccione, RINO Spawn Flipwaffle D'Souza, and neo-Marxist Andy Stein -- geesh, it's the company you keep, Ann); BUT this decision by MS/NBC is nothing more than to blatantly commoditize censorship for profit in order to keep a certain small moonbat segment watching endlessly. In third place, as it perpetually turns out.

The increasingly intolerant left is starting their crack down on opposing views. Watch for this trend to increase in intensity. There is nothing to stop them now. Watch the bullies grow stronger and more ruthless. Watch them declare those who dare oppose them public enemies and thereby intentionally incite wackos to do their dirty work. It is how Stalin began his reign.

It is coming.

That’s lovely. The Politico piece links to a Media Matters page where they nit-pick about minor issues with the claims the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth made while ignoring the far more important holes, inconsistencies, and lies that Kerry was telling. Anyone who sides with Kerry on that doesn’t know what they are talking about. The liberals’ favorite tactic — repeat the same lies over and over again untli people believe they are true.

The next step is to throw her kind to the lions.

This is a horrible sign for the continuation of the republic.

Quite the opposite.

This is just one of the death throes we are going to see in the coming years as the Drive By Media dies and is replaced by something better.

I like Peter Noone as much as the next guy, but honestly, who cares what he watches?
