I found this so incredible I actually had to check it out.
Wow.
-
Cant wait to read her book, it must ROCK to piss them off so bad they ban her lol :popcorn:

Meanwhile, she's laughing all the way to the bank.
NBC just added maybe a couple hundred thousand sold books to her coffers.

Linky?

No link as yet... Just drudge splash.

I heard she disses Meeshell O in her book. Wonder if that's got anything to do with it ?

this quote says it all
"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."

Well, they're probably right about their audience...
Such as it is.

I went to it, to see if it's true.
It's a Politico article.

NBC...we hardly knew ye.
"We're interested in fairness...what? You're criticizing a president WE got elected by bullshitting the American public? YOU'RE BANNED, YOU LITTLE HUSSY!!!" /NBC execs

And so it begins. The MSM will do their best to silence dissenting opinion by banning it from their airwaves.

Some DUer put up my favorite picture of Ann and acted like it was a bad thing. :rotf:

As to "free speech" I'm forced to agree with some other DUer (damn it all) . NBC can put whoever they want on the Today show or anywhere else and free speech does not even enter into it. I'm against a fairness doctrine for anyone and would even go so far as to say I'm very much against the foolish concept of "public ownership" of the airwaves.
-
Ironic someone writes a book about media Bias and a member of the media bans her for being critical of the O man.
-
Nazi pieces of shit.
Oh well NBC's ratings are in the dirt, just slightly above that of CBS. Imagine the DUmmy heads `splodin if Fox News banned Michael Moor. The only person I can think of that Fox has literally banned is Michael Savage. A major player on the DUmmy's list of hate lists.
-
And the truth shall sat you free........or at least get you banned from NBC.
-
I think they proved her point.

Upped Her book sales by a couple hundred thousand too I BET.

This only makes me love Ann more. Can't wait to read her book. :-)

NBC: Ann Coulter not banned (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i27e6523c216f71f782c2de31d9dec3fb)
Network responds to rumors after bumping her from 'Today'
By Paul J. Gough
Jan 5, 2009, 06:49 PM ET
NEW YORK -- NBC News denied Monday that conservative author Ann Coulter has been banned from the network after "Today" dropped her from Tuesday's program because of breaking-news events.
The Coulter incident garnered huge headlines, which reported that network sources said NBC was not going to allow the frequent guest to appear any more.
That's not true, NBC News said Monday. Coulter's segment was dropped from the schedule because of news that the show was expecting to cover in the Gaza Strip with the Israeli military action there and in Washington with the Obama transition. "Today" had booked former British prime minister Tony Blair. Coulter was to promote her new book, "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America."
"We've had Ann Coulter on 'Today' many times, but because of the news in Washington and the Middle East, we decided to cancel her appearance tomorrow," NBC News said in a statement Monday. "Understanding the media as well as she does, we are sure she knows this happens from time to time. We look forward to welcoming her back in the future."

^damage control.
I can't wait to hear her first sit down on Fox. :-)
-
All the more reason not to watch one NBC program again. Remember your TV history, This is the same network that cancelled "Star Trek" after two seasons untill the infamous letter campain and later gave us "Hello Larry".

Ah, yes, but there would have been no Hello Larry had McLean Stevenson had been satisfied with success. I'm not absolving NBC.

NBC sucks for getting rid of Saturday Morning Cartoons in the early 1990s. They had Captain N and he was canned.

I don't remember Captain N but my two favorite cartoons from the 1990's were The Tick and Phantom 2040.
:jacked2: :-)
-
What an honor! Ann must be proud. I cannot imagine a finer confirmation of ones legitimacy.
-
Well, they're probably right about their audience...
Such as it is.
:lmao:
All six of 'em.
-
Wasn't it NBC that killed the TV Show Journeyman 2 seasons ago. I loved that show.
-
NBC stands for No Barack Criticism channel.
-
Well, Gaza is a big story, and it is a legitimate excuse.
Of course, I think more people are interested in Anne's view of the crisis than they are in the views of Annie Lennox, who has been on shows a lot as spokesweirdo for some group or another.
In any case, NBC hasn't lost my custom over this. I havn't watched NBC in years anyway. (I don't have TV anymore)
-
I haven't had any reason (except for the occasional football game) to watch NBC ever since Night Court.
-
NBC stands for No Barack Criticism channel.
During the run-up to the election, quite a few pundits and non-NBC press people were indeed referring to them as the "National Barack Channel."
-
We will be getting a lot more stories like this.
-
We'll see what happened when Coulter sits on Fox first and maybe reveals what's going on.
BTW, the new book is already on the way to my house. YAY!

On the heels of NBC's decision yesterday...looks like Harry Smith decided to pile on as well:
CBS's Harry Smith interviewed Ann Coulter on the "Early Show" Tuesday, and it was clear from the start the co-host had no interest in hiding his disdain for the conservative author.
In fact, he was downright rude from beginning to end referring to her as "a whiner," "goofy," "simplistic," and "sophomoric."
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/01/06/harry-smith-calls-coulter-simplistic-goofy-whining-sophomoric
They couldn't ban her cause their ratings can't sustain it.

Actually, that was a good interview.... well, on Ann's side. You can see Harry Smith trying to hide his seething anger while he's talking to her.

I think one of the things that infuriates the left is that not only is she smarter than all the Libtards in the MSM...she consistantly comes on their silly little shows and proves it.
-
Loved her final line. Humor , but too true, and it made Harry look as if he has lemon in his mouth.
-
Ann was on with Andrew Wilkow this afternoon and confirmed that NBC had dumped her appearence...but said she'll be back on tomorrow.
She said NBC backed down because of the reporting on what happened.
-
That's pretty much what she said on FNC this morning. Did NBC really think that this wouldn't be news? :tongue:
-
I don't remember Captain N but my two favorite cartoons from the 1990's were The Tick and Phantom 2040.
:jacked2: :-)
Both great -- and I miss The Phantom on Adult Swim.
The live action version of The Tick was an abomination.
-

Caught her on H&C -- she's tought and smart. Too bad she got caught up on the wrong side of the whole evolution thing. I lost a lot of respect for her on that.

LOL! He could barely stand to look at her. Love the way she doesn't back down. Go Ann!

Exactly! My birthday may just come a little bit early this year!!
This is really what I needed right about now...Ann Coulter, the perfect pick-me-up, while I'm in a political slump.

How very communistic of them!

Good point. They sure as hell don't want her on their show slamming the Big Zero, as they know that she will be able to do it most succinctly.
-
In another couple months they won't need to be the bad guys in banning her.
They will just blame the new 'fairness doctrine' which seems to be comming at use ever faster.

Okay...this is troublesome. In her book she states "children of divorce, or as I call them, future strippers" :mental:
That was over the top, even for her. :hammer: What's with the women hatred? What about the men who left? And not all single mother's are unemployed drug addicts.
She just lost me as a supporter.

It's hard for me to take her seriously when her No. #1 priority is to sell books.
Ann Coulter is a very bright entertainer. Her job is to be titillating and outrageous, even egregious. She is there to provoke a reaction, whether positive or negative.
Making inflammatory comments to piss people off is her job. And she gets paid well for that work.
That probably doesn't make her vitriol any easier to swallow, but that's how I see it. Ann laughs all the way to the bank, though I truly believe that she believes in essence what she says.
-
"It's hard for me to take her seriously when her No. #1 priority is to sell books."
I always thought her number one priority was to piss off liberals, and selling books was just a happy by-product for her. :rotf:

I see her as being a very astute businesswoman. She happens to be good at what she does, so she makes a pile of money doing it. But I see her main priority as not pissing off liberals nearly as much as making money.
Let's face it - you can't eat a liberal for dinner. Can you?

If you want to read authors that blow smoke up your backside read something by John Gray or Dear Abby.

There is always a wink and a nod in Ann's work.
She's simply mirroring back liberal behavior if you think about it. I think she knows darn good and well what she's doing. She can be over the top in my opinion but I have to admit, she's usually on the money more often than not.
-

They're like 'possum's. You gotta pen'em up and feed'em corn for a week or two to clean the CHEETOS out.
-
Ann Coulter is part entertainer. She is like Rush Limbaugh that way. Neither one of 'em is William F. Buckley, but they don't pretend to be. You can learn from them, but don't take either of them more seriously than they deserve. :whatever:

Well, no, she is not. I just think she is more like a stand-up comedian than she is like a William F. Buckley, Jr. I enjoy her work, too, I just think we should not take her too seriously. If we did, some of us would be a little offended, and rightly so.

What Ann does...is say what most of us think...but are afraid to say outselves. And what drives the left completely batty over her statements is that they know she's right.

In some regards she is a lot like Bill Buckley. She just uses terminolgy most people can understand.
I don't think anyone should deliberately set out to offend but if what they say is truth and it offends someone oh well.
I somewhat think that's where the Conservatives/Reps are loosing the battle,to many are scared they might offend someone.

There are ways to say somethings that she does, without being so abrasive. I find her obnoxious personally. Right more often then not, but still obnoxious.

Most of her interviews she is rather level headed & courteous & polite. Now if she senses someone is yanking her chain she isn't scared to yank back. may be bias but I don't find her nearly as Obnoxious and mean spirited as you avg Liberal talking head or liberal proponent.
I think that is the rights major setback they are letting the left control the game by establishing rules of engagement only the right has to abide by.
Hell you might agree almost 100% with someone but no one likes a wimp.
-
Zeus, you are quite correct. For far too long the "right" has alowed the "left" to establish rules for the right that they are free to ignore. Ann , of course, counter argues/attacks, regardless of how the left thinks she should. And she does in mockingly with reasonably good humor. I have listened to her and found the comments full of biteing humor, but have not heard the hate that flows froM THE MOUTHS OF the likes of Howard Dean, Alex Baldwin, "Jimmuh" and on down.
Frankly, I believe it is an ERROR not to give back more than we get, but it has to be done with humor, rather than the lefts acid dripping hate. Ever listen to Alan Combs nonsense? Harry Reid's, Barny Frank's?
THEY are playing hardball while saying the RIGHT should play wiffleball and not complain when hit by a bean ball. That's just stupid. On our part.
-
If she were gay I would seriously have to consider batting for the other team if I even had a chance. Ann is one of my heroes.
-

To some, yes, she can come off as abrasive... I don't know about offensive, but look at who the mouthpieces for the left are.. Randi Rhoades, Al Franken, Alan Colmes (and that is on his heh... radio show), Maureen Down, etc. They are more offensive then Ann because they're comments are vile against American values, the military, etc. and most of the shit they spew are lies. Ann bites back, but with the truth. Liberals hate to see themselves in the mirror, and she does it well.
-
Zeus, you are quite correct. For far too long the "right" has alowed the "left" to establish rules for the right that they are free to ignore.
I don't think that the right needs to follow rules established by the left. But I still think that there are rules we all should follow. Just because MoveOn.org or Michael Moore are being stupid, does not mean we should prove we can be stupid, too. Society is becoming less civil and less polite, and we should not add to the problem, even if we did not start the fire ourselves. This is one of those rare times when it is true that "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Do we really want to go down that road?
We can be so bothered by Micheal Moore, Cindy Sheehan, Nancy Pelosi, et al, that we forget that the majority of the people are in the middle. How can we persuade them? By being civil and polite. I am not saying we will ever win over MoveOn.org or the Daily Kos, but we can win over the majority in the middle.
-
When the left is rude and insulting to your face, you suggest being polite? Without scarcasm? Without pointing out the rudeness? The lies, fraud, deception? Boy, without being direct but with sharply directed humor, I xcan't see it working. May I say Sen. John McCain is the perfect example of the polite, sane, inclusive exajmple, and may I aslo point out it was an ABJECT failure.

If they speak their mind/truth...they are blasted with a broadside from the MSM for a month.
Sarah Palin had been the Veep nominee for the Republicans for barely 20 minutes and the attacks had begun.
