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.

Ann’s going to need a new shtick. She does this same thing every time, gets the same reaction from the loons, and sells books out the whazuuus.

Even a dumb leftard should have figured out what her gig was by now ==^_^==

The news is not supposed to be what people WANT to hear; that would be called prohibitive censorship. The news should be what IS happening in the country and world, not what oblahma sheepies want it to be. I find Coulter too abrasive, as I am uber-conservative to a fault, but will now buy her books just to boost sales to piss off the libbies; who knows, maybe I will learn something!!

After NBC is sold in bankruptcy court maybe the new owners will let her on.

What bankruptcy?

With this move, NBC just cut the deal for its bailout!

“We just don’t want anyone who is too critical of President elect obama right now.” (And by “right now” we mean the next four to eight years).

"NBC in 5 years will just be one of billions of URLs on the Internet."

Who will pay their $35 annual URL regrstration fee?

That reveals a lot about NBC.

Well, remember when NBC 'spiked' the Juanita Broaddrick rape accusation story against Clinton until AFTER the impeachment vote???

That, too, revealed a lot about NBC.

I banned NBC many years ago. Also CBS, CNN, ABC, MSNBC and Fox was real close to getting turned off too.

A shrewd publicity stunt. Ann sells a lot more books. In fact, I must read the book now.

When NBC "caves" to the angry Right and puts her back on the air, they'll get more eyeballs than ever. I wouldn't be surprised if they both have the game plan mapped out well in advance.

On Amazon, it's currently ranked #46 in overall books.

In the last hour it went from #46 to #28

This will make Ann even more successful than she already is. NBC can't handle the truth.
