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.

I'd ban her to if my network was under fire by a book whiched pointed out how orgasmic my network has been for Obama. I'm sure she crucifies Mathews and his "thrill up my leg" quote or that its his job to make Obama succeed. Never heard that in 2000 or 2004. Nor have I ever heard Medina Benjiman (Code Pink) or Michael Moore or Huffington...or whatever other liberal douche being banned from Fox. Once again libs showing us who they really are.

What the fuck is that...what is that. Thats bullshit. They're impartial journalists.....oh wait. ::)
-
I like to see another source on this other than the Drudge report, no offence.
I can't see why a network would ban a writer, no matter how bad her opinions are.
An interview with her could be really interesting.
So if it's true, I think it's bullshit.
But I'd like to see it confirmed from another more reliable source.

LOL... both sides do it. Remember Hannity kissing Palin's ass? he didn't ask a single tough question. It was 60 minutes of "How do you explain your courage in the face of so much unfounded media bias, your holiness?"

240...nobody banned anybody on Fox...ok nobody is banned on FOX. A major news outlet is banning a conservative because she says bad things about anchors on that station and calls into question how they conduct their news. Everybody knows where Hannity stands.
Hedge.....Drudge is a news clearing house and this story quotes NBC officials. Its like any other major clearing house for news...much like realclearpolitics. He's to the right but all his news is hard. I would expect that a story will follow from another site when the fulls story is released.

I have no idea if its true but its troubling.

:o Cowards.

Its funny...these CT wack jobs connect all kinds of bizarre dots to concoct the 911 conspiracy yet Obama is laying out a Left Wing nanny state that appeases terrorists.

The two co-chairs of the 911 commission, keane and hamilton, say we need another investigation into the events of 9/11.
I trust them. Don't you?

Hahahaha, I love it, proves liberal media can't handle the truth. Hahahahahaha!
-
Hahahaha, I love it, proves liberal media can't handle the truth. Hahahahahaha!
WHy do you think FOX news helped to cover up the John Edwards affair for 9 months - even AFTER Miss Coulter broke the news to the world?
-
As far as the Drudge report publishing this story with only anonymous sources and not giving NBC officials a chance to comment - that's just very poor journalism on their part.
Personally, I'd never publish a story under those conditions.
It's bad journalism.
"top network source"
WTF is that?
You can't publish shit when there's neither a named source or you haven't given the accused party a chance to address the matter.
-
She was taken off as a guest of one of the NBC shows. Not sure if she was completely banned, I don't have that info.
If she was banned, thats a disgrace and again shows the bias in some news stations. What happened to the media reporting stories and being unbiased? The partisan agendas are out of hand. Journalism needs to re-examine itself and the way they teach upcoming journalists. Because Coulter is critical of liberals and the liberal media, they don't want her. If terrorists like Ayers are allowed to be guests, then surely there is no issue with coulter. She is brash and I don't care for her attitude, but she has some ligitimate points.
Her criticizm is apparently directed at the media far more than Obama.
Some are ignoring significant cultural, family and other issues related to bringing up children in this country. Its not pleasant to hear some of the things she writes about, but its hard to argue that there isn't a good deal of truth to some points. (I haven't read her book and won't, just heard her on two interviews)
-
it's about time someone shut up that skank, conservative windbag.
-
Media censurship must apply to both sides then.
Coulter's attitude is an issue IMO but the people need to hear the criticizms of the liberal media.
-

"FOX" just waited until they got all of the facts before they released it.

Then it was also poor journalism when the press was slandering Palin after the elections by saying "an unknown source confirms" talking about how she was supposedly such a diva during the campaign. Funny, that source was never confirmed.
-
LOL... both sides do it. Remember Hannity kissing Palin's ass? he didn't ask a single tough question. It was 60 minutes of "How do you explain your courage in the face of so much unfounded media bias, your holiness?"
As opposed to the probing questions of Olberman?
-

Now if we could just shut up left wing commies like Olberman,Mathews,Maddow,Couric,Rather,Jennings,etc.etc.All America haters and liars.

they don;t hate America, they hate the cowards and hypocrites running it for the last 8 years.
-
This sounds fishy. Ann has always been a conservative attack dog. Talk about lipstick on a pig. I doubt the suits at NBC thought they were getting a level-headed, middle-of-the-road pundit when they booked her and then all of a sudden realized her actual politics hours before she was scheduled to appear.
-

Maddow doesn't even know what the hell she's talking about half the time. She got the job because she can package her Lesbian snark pseudo-smart guy crap, effectively.
-
Hahahaha, I love it, proves liberal media can't handle the truth. Hahahahahaha!
HILARIOUS...TRUTH ::)
Check it out man. Man to man w/o political bias. Ann's Bitterness and divisive nature isnt what the masses need now at this point in our country's struggles. The time for undermining and being bitter that your party didnt win is over and there needs to be much more pulling together in our country. She isnt about that at all. She tries to be slick and do real immature things like call Barak Obama ...B. Huessien...like dude really, grow up. Yeah its his name. But if his name was Barak Earl Obama she wouldnt call him earl. Just as she never called George Bush G. Walker....See Shit like that is just not needed and it stinks of bitterness and its just counter productive to where our country is trying to go.
-

Coulter is the conservative version of what you just described only nastier.

OH no....she is attacking the media for being in bed with a particular candidate and soirry dude, its a journalists job to question and fact find, not cheer lead. U want a cheerleader u watch Hannity or that idiot Obermann. U know what ur getting. NBC was in the tank for Obama, the facts, stats all prove that out. Who got better coverage, who said what, who "got a thrill up their leg. Funny we needed people to question Bush and disagree etc while we were invloved in a fucking war, but now that Barry is in charge...we should all come together and unite right?...For the common good. Sorry, but I will question everything this dumbass does.
Quaker...Meddow tries to come off as smart...she gets smoked all the time.
-

Not that leftists hate america. You just got to be smart enough to ask questions to the captain of the sinking ship.

So what does Sean Hannity do?
-
She should be banned just for having an adam's apple.
-

No.
They waited until the national enquirer did the research for them.
They were happy to join NBC in burying the story> They're lib shit, just like NBC.

Really?Funny Olberman reported on his show[on the verge of orgasm by the way]about how Palins daughters boyfriends mother,did you get that?,was arrested for drug possesion or distribution.He then went on and on and on about how this reflects badly on Palin.Funny,I dont EVER recall the corageous Olberman questioning Al Gore about his son[not his sons girlfriends mother but his son]getting locked up over and over for drug possesion and being sent in and out of rehab.Somehow that doesnt reflect badly on Gore,but Palins daughters boyfriends mother reflects badly on Palin.Thats being smart?
Ever hear the "smart" Olberman question Ted Kennedy why his son has been in drug rehab three times?No,of cource not,but Palins daughters boyfriends mother is another example of what a bad person Palin is.Sorry,Olberman is the perfect example of a fool,and a very talentless one at that,check his ratings.

Olbermann is just as bad as Bill O'Reilly.
People tune in to both of them, or Limbaugh, to see what they should think on current issues.
Instead of thinking for themselves.
These kind of pseudo political talkshows makes everyone dumber.
You got your average Republican redneck who sees that Barney Frank is in the news.
Then he tunes in to Bill O'Reilly to see what he should think about Barney Frank.
Or conversely, the average Democrat liberal sees that George Bush voted for the bailout. So he turns in to Olbermann to see if that was a good or bad thing.
Priceless.

Why the disrespect to Coach Hedgehog?

Olberman is certainly more partisan and sarcastic than O'Reily.
While O'Reily certainly isn't perfect, he will criticize repubs and give credit to some dems when deserved. Actually, in the last couple months, he has been objective about Obama and given him quite a few compliments.

O'Reilly has been sucking up to Obama, ever since he granted him those interviews.
I think he developed a bit of a "man crush" on him then, ...just not to the point where he got tingles up his leg. ;)

I doubt people need anyone to tell them to hate Barney Fag.A man that had a male prostitution ring running out of his basement.A guy that spits all over the placeeverytime he speaks[kind of like Chris Mathews,is this a trend].
The differance between Oreill and Olberman is that Olberman thinks he is the smartest and funniest man alive.I half expect him to end every sentance with "did you see what I did there" .He tries to be Dennis Miller but just cant pull it off.He has ruined FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA and has been a total flop everywhere he has gone AND he gets his ass kicked EVERY single night in the ratings.A big stupid bore.

one of the truest statements ever seen on the getbig politics board.
-
haha, there may be a little man crush! ;D. I guess they also call it a 'bromance' now.
People who are overly criticizing Obama at this point are just bitter about the election. let the man take office and lets see what he does. So far, besides the Panetta pick, he seems like he is going about things pretty well IMO.

You know you can watch Olbermann nightly for FREE.
Why watch it on TV when your PC can download it and you can watch it when you want to.
I'd say that would change the ratio quite a bit.

I was just making a point that some people watch the whole show on other media besides the TV.
Why do you feel that it in any way is trying to "bash" O'Reilly? It's not.. Why do you feel the need to defend O'Reilly anyway?
I think it's pretty obvious who has the best "ratings", but I also think that it's got much more to do with "Fox News" being a bigger station all total than MSNBC.
I'd be interested in seeing what O'Reilly vs. Larry King would look like.

im not defending him just pointing out facts same as you...olbeirman is a jackass though and a whiney one at that...oreilly is a drama queen and bull headed but still better than olbeirman anyday of the week.
I looked up the oreilly olbeirman comparison somebody elses turn on the larry king comparison.
-

NO HE IS NOT!!!!HE GETS HIS ASS KICKED BY OREILLY EVERY NIGHT!!!THE GUY WON ONE WEEK WHEN OREILLY WAS ON VACATION.HE,LIKE ALL THE OTHERS ON MSNBC GET KILLED NIGHTLY.

Its on basic cable.Who in this country doesnt have basic cable?Its not great stuff.If it was people would watch and NO ONE WATCHES!He failed at radio,on MSNBC ,on football night in America,and he was THE WORST host in the history of ESPN.A smirking sarcastic idiot with ZERO sense of humor.By the way Larry King gets smoked by FOX night in and night out as well.

Dude... Today's youth don't watch TV... the get everything from the internet... That's all I'm saying.
I'm not saying that Olbermann is all special... I thought it was weird for him to go from SportCenter to an OpEd show about politics.
Made no sense to me.
I'm just saying I think the idea of not having to have "television" is a good thing.
That's what the Internet is all about and I appreciate what MSNBC has done with Countdown... If Fox did it with The Factor, I'd download that as well.
You'll have to show me how Larry gets beat up... I'd bet his guests make the ratings more than anything.
-
There is no comparison between Larry King and the two Stooges Bill and Keith.
He runs an actual talk show where the guests gets the focus. NOT LARRY.
He's kick ass. Almost always great questions, and a wonderful tempo during the interviews that gets the interviewed person to spill the beans.
Gotta love the simple setup of the show to. Very hardcore and basic. It's Larry and the guest basically.
Not all these cheesy graphics that Bill and Keith have to use because they are afraid their viewers will get bored.
Or when there's a graphic memo 'sub-titling' their talking points.
Because they are afraid their viewers might not understand otherwise. ::)

Maybe the ACLU will help her out.

Kind does get smoked by Fox but Larry doesn't do controversey like Obermann or O'Reily. He throws softballs to his guests. They do get to talk and u do get to actually hear the interview.

Im not saying your wrong.Bu the fact is Oreilly smokes him in the ratings.King is good depending on the guest.However,how many times can I see has beens like Suzanne Summers on there?

Or a few weeks ago when he invited an animal expert who paraded half a fcuking zoo LOL.
The whole fcuking show was animals being showed up.
I love King when he does shit like that. Mixes it up a bit.
IMO, the fact that he's behind in ratings won't make me quit consider him the King of talkshows. 8)
When he brought on the Osteen's he was able to get them to talk open and disclose a lot about how they view things.
Eg, he got them to showcase very conservative values on fags.
A tough guy like O'Reilly would've probably failed getting them to say those kinds of things.

I wonder how long before it can be posted as fact that she is indeed a post op/tranny...
