NBC Bans Ann Coulter For Life

[chri'stina 190]

I find her annoying, but banning someone..don't know about that. I agree though that why should she be entitled to go on programs but at the same time, most commentators on TV I wonder "Why are they allowed to be the opinion for their side?". Who the heck are they? Mostly nobodies. lol.

And one more thing I forgot to say...I feel most news isn't news, it's just a bunch of opinions. They have to have a left, right, and once in awhile an independent person, who all get to share their opinions on every piece of news...and we are all supposed to care about what they say.

Coulter wasn't banned. Its the usual way she does business.

She has a (another) new book out about "evil libruls" that went on sale on January 6th, and barely a day later she's trapping off on her website about media bias for being dropped from a Today segment on NBC.

Its quite obvious what's going on there. She's trying to get her name in the news to help flog her book.

More than that I'm willing to bet that if you search back through news archives you'll find some Coulter related media controversy around the on-sale date of each of her books.

All there is about this is a rumour on the Drudge website about it - something to do with claims in her new book.

oh, rats! I was so hopping it was true.

are you 100% sure about this?

No - I just looked it up quickly on Google. There's nothing concrete - only the usual swirl of Drudge rumours.

Actually according to this - it looks like Coulter was dropped because the network wanted to devote extra coverage to the Gaza conflict, and that Coulter fueled the rumors herself - via her own blend of media-####### attention seeking.

The last part of your post is exactly what I think of her - "Oh look at me!". Pfffft!

To discuss the mudslide in who-ville today, we have democratic strategist Mr. So-and-So, Former adviser to Reagan Mr whats-his-name, and NYT article writer Joe Shmoe...

Mr so-and-so: This is a crime against our nation, Bush knew this would happen, he probably wanted it to happen! Republicans better fix this mudslide or let me guess, they will leave everyone stranded just like in Katrina.

Mr whats-his-name: If the democrats stopped promoting evil plans, there would be no mudslides. they were probably making pot fields north of who-ville, which made too much irrigation water run down the hill and cause this.

Joe Shmoe-I agree with Mr. so-and-so, hate those republicans...you democrats suck too.

Yeah that's pretty much the definition of "fair and balanced". Pretty much all of the networks do it.

I always laugh when she accuses the media of being bias - like she isn't! She's a joke, besides everything else.

Coulter isn't the best person to address the quality of our media. Indeed - she's part of it, which should tell you something.

Here's the idiotic question: why was she banned? I know she is a #$%, but there must have been a cause, right?

Yeah...we watch CNN mostly these days, when we switched from cable to dish we lost various channels. CNN does this with every topic.

The "Insider" told Drudge that apparently it was because NBC high ups didn't want her making negative comments about Barack Obama at this point in time.

Of course... she was only scheduled on the show to begin with in order to promote her new book...

Coulter's new rag Vs. War in the Middle East.

You decide

It doesn't really matter now, hermana. I guess it's just a rumor the victim….err….. the "poor me'' Ann started.

Dear Len... THAT should be the only theme of discussion in this thread. Of course, there are folks that will surely use any excuse to cry foul of the supposed liberal media elite... but given that crazy douchebag's perpetual attitude problem and flagrant mouth... we can always use deductive reasoning and leave it to that.
