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.
But executives at NBC TODAY replaced Coulter with showbiz reporter Perez Hilton, who recently offered $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at Ann Coulter. Hilton is also launching a new book this week, RED CARPET SUICIDE.
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.
Coulter was also to appear on the TODAY's fourth hour. A host even teased the segment saying the 'conservative pit bull and bestselling author' would be a guest.
NBC's cable outlet, MSNBC, will also become a Coulter-free zone, insiders explain.

| Anne Coulter is hateful. I don't mean in a political hate-speech sense, I mean her words drip with a level of rage that I find unenjoyable. She is just vicious in her attacks, leaving good taste somewhere in another galaxy. I don't care what her political affiliation is, she is just a angry woman. |

This is my favorite line..like how do they know this. Maybe JK Rowling only does it in the missionary position or Tom Clancy disapproves of women smoking, who knows.. |

Readjust your post because "dmbfan wrote" is not correct. You are making it look as if I did.
Could be a mistake, yes. But, on Daves.........you never know.

Coulter and Limbaugh and the like always beg the same question: which is actually more psychotic, do they really believe the inanity they peddle, or do they just sell it to make cash off the hicks in the sticks?
It's really hard to determine which would be more nihilistic. |

Maybe she is not so banned after all:
"Update 1:45 PM: Coulter is booked for at least two hits on "Today" Wednesday morning, according to her website:
DRUDGE GETS RESULTS: TODAY SHOW CHANGES MIND - WED: 7AM HOUR -- THE TODAY SHOW 10AM HOUR -- THE TODAY SHOW 4TH HOUR
Monday night, Coulter told Hannity & Colmes that she would cancel on the "Today" show at the last minute if she were re-booked.
***UPDATE*** 8:55AM
Coulter appeared on CBS's The Early Show where she told anchor Harry Smith that he was her favorite for having her on this morning after The Today Show had canceled her. Smith allowed Coulter to rant, but then pushed her on claims of right-wing victimization and urged her to "take a breath." He also called her "goofy" and "sophomoric." Watch the video:"

Personally, I attribute this to her claim on what sounds like Charlie Rose that all American assassins have been leftists (tell that to John Wilkes Booth). It's on a clip at The Daily Beast, down on the right side under 'Coulter Uses the A Word About Obama'.  |

According to Keith Olbermann, Ann getting 'banned for life' was a rumor that Ann herself spread.
She wouldn't stoop that low, would she? |
