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.

LOL! I am not a Coulter Fan, however this is truly funny. In some half brained attempt to punish her for exercising her free speech rights in her new book, they have now guaranteed she will own the best seller list for weeks and make a ton more money and free publicity off of her book.

Ann Coulter should really consider sending them a fruit basket for all the free advertisement and cash this will generate.

Ann is the One I would want on every bookshelf. I have a couple of her books.

I could like a Palin/Coulter ticket very much. Imagine the liberals just dying on the spot.

I used to tease a moderate I know with my dream ticket (either form) of Coulter/Limbaugh. It was very funny.

"It's such a downer. It's just not the time...."

Funny, that kind of thinking never occurs to the Mediascum when it comes to trashing the war effort, undermining national support for troops in harm's way, etc.

Well it's never funny, really, but the MSM does not hesitate to run with any "downer" stories meant to harm eviiiiilll Bushco., no matter how bad the timing for the country, no matter how harmful to US interests, no matter how dangers may be increased for troops and/or intel operatives in the field, etc. etc. etc.

mediamatters attempt to attack the book by claiming it contained falsehood is stupid. Saying it was false because couter claim foxnew dont commit fraud and that obama attack sarah with pig on the lipstick , is just laughable. Those are opinions. Do they even know what that is

Alot of ppl who watch the clip of Obama using the word pig on the lipstick, knew perfectly who Obama meant. Even democrat audience knew who Obama meant. Its only the dimwitted media didn’t see it. or did at first, but then bought in to the obama reasoning later on

Nobody watches NBC.

"It's such a downer. It's just not the time....

"Exactly!!

The MSM had no problem giving unlimited publicity to Cindy Sheehan as she did her best to give encouragement and "AID-AND-COMFORT" to our enemies during time of war--

thereby prolonging the war and causing more American casualties.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

You canNOT make this stuff up.

Palin/Coulter ticket would drive the media crazy! I was shocked how much hatred there is on the Internet against them.

btw, Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter made at least one positive Top Ten list (along with some far out lefties) of the most interesting women on shuriks.com. Does anyone know of any other POSITIVE lists?

Well, NBC DOES have a point on that one--when it comes to 'their audience'.

I mean, only Hussein sycophants who want to 'hear no evil, speak no evil and see no evil' when it comes to Hussein--watch that Hussein-shill network.
