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.

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

No, not really. This is great!:

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism"

The media is a defacto part of the government now. After they "carried Barack Obama across the finish line" as you said, they can deny it all they want to, but half the country knows it.

Start making a list of the provocations. :-)

(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.”)

Whatever happened to the media’s support of the Fairness Doctrine? The need to present diverse views?

On the lefty websites there’s a rumor out there that Ann Coulter was born male but had a sex change operation.

Is there any truth to that?

Your heavy breathing is giving you away. That and your lurid interest. Give it up and go back to the DU where anything goes, including deviancy.

God, Guns and Guts. Seems like our Ann has it all. Tell it like it is Ann. We love you. If Ann could ever get a word in without being interrupted constantly during an interview maybe she could get her true points though to more people instead of being represented as a fringe nut. I’ve noticed for a very long time that the common denominator in the majority of troubled kids is the absence of a decent father in their life. Ann hits the nail on the head when she notes that the media culture seems to promote lifestyles that are destroying our children and ultimately our nation. NBC just does not like being called on the carpet for their role in the degradation of our society.That’s OK. If NBC disappeared tomorrow I wouldn’t miss it.

Or even the wife of someone at the top, upset at Coulter's critique of "style"?

Pre-emptive self censorship is more likely, given Matthew's statement that he was working hard to make this administration succeed (which says what he tried to to to Bush).

Good job Sarge!

In honor of your lightening like troll zot reflexes, I am not only going to immediately buy a copy of GUILTY for myself but will buy another copy of GUILTY along with TREASON and donate them to the local high school library. If we mold their minds before they hit college, they’ll have the ammo to deal with the liberal professors when they are across the firing lines from them.
