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.

NBC doesn’t want the truth to get out via their airwaves. THIS will make Ann even more popular! Thanks NBC!

When it comes to Bush-hating and pushing the far-left, nut-case, liberal agenda,,,,

NBC is the 'gold standard'.

I just spent about a half hour reading Media Matters claims of falsehoods in Coulter’s new book.

If a good close look is taken at what they present, they actually make a good case for Coulter’s statements being true.

They couch their statements in words that will convince their loyal liberal lackeys that what they say is true, but of course they don't have what it takes to ferret out the truth.

Since NBC is part of the Obama administration, this is a violation of Ann's First Amendment rights.

Is there any truth to that?

The truth is that you have been manipulated by the "lefty web sites" into posting their drivel here at FR.

Either that or you are a disruptor.

I don't think you're crazy. I've been saying it since October. The Stadium Temple stunt only confirmed how 0 sees himself.
