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

I've been hearing that claim for at least five years. Unfortunately, we just witnessed the fact that the MSM still has enough power to swing a presidential election.

there is no way even with the best twisting of the news can they make Obama’s administration succeed. Unless maybe if Obama isn’t the one that will be running things.

Anyone know what are “the book’s claims?”

She very likely attacked their hero and leader, Barack. He is the lord almighty to the libs and NBC is the most liberal of networks out there. NBC apparently can't have anyone telling the truth about Obama and about NBC.

But, too bad. I wasn't planning to watch NBC anyway. Not even with Ann on.

All of this is news to me. It's like: "if an interview happens on NBC and nobody sees or hears it, does it matter?"

This doesn’t surprise me at all, but I had to check Drudge because it seemed like satire.

"liberals idea of fair and balanced."

Exactly.

So did I, but I couldn’t resist crosschecking him into the boards anyway... ;-)

This is in the Drudge story tonight, but I don't think it was there before??? (or at least I don't remember seeing it before, but I might have skimmed the Drudge piece too quickly):

"But a second top suit strongly denies there is any "Coulter ban"."

""Look for a re-invite, as soon as Wednesday," said the news executive, who asked not to be named."

Sounds like news exec. may be over-ruling the "Today Show" staff?? We'll have to see, I hope NBC and MSNBC tear themselves apart over this!

What’s an “NBC”?

Nothing But Crap?
No Body Cares?
New Bowel & Colon?

Larry Sinclair’s book will be better, since he’s been banned from everything.

But Go Coulter Go. She should have her own TV show.

[JillValentine]

The angle makes her arms look bigger in that picture. Usually she looks really thin.

[SmithL]

Is it a waste of time to read lefty websites?

Yes, but thanks for asking.

And don't forget to pick up your lovely parting gifts on your way out.

Oh, but when it was the other way around, we didn't read... "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President BUSH, 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."

What an Honor to be baned by NBC (NationalSocialist Band of Clintonistas) is like being banned by Hugo ‘himself’ Chavez! Better yet it akin to Churchill being ridiculed by Dr. Goebbels back during the battle of Britain. Way to go Ann!
