Drudge: NBC bans Coulier for Life
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. And in so doing proves the book's claims "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." Yeah! All the criticism gets in the way of our echo chamber. 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. Lets home Fox News picks it up. 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 offered $1,000 to anyone who would throw a pie at Ann Coulter. I guess he's more eager to put on the kneepads. How is NBC's market share doing? Nope, no bias here. Posted by: CrazyFool 2009-01-05 |
