NBC Bans Ann Coulter For Life

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

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

I don't know about "banning" people from news networks - I kinda doubt thats the case somehow, but I think its fair to ask whether someone like Ann Coulter is entitled to appear on the news - simply because, anymore than Joe the Plumber or Cindy Sheehan do. Its an editorial decision surely - dependent in large part on the sort of audience you're trying to reach and whether the opinions on the guest are deemed sufficiently interesting.

Hence you won't find someone like Coulter being called to a panel discussion on NPR. It has nothing to do with being biased, rather just that Coulter is a poor-quality commentator.

Well, she did refer to the President-Elect as "B. Hussein Obama" in her book

No - he said it was the worst xmas ever.

Actually Charles, I can't buy anything until I have citizenship here from what I understand. HI is really careful with everything (including fireworks) here. No home protection for Mrs. Cat. At least for a few more years.

No, for stooping me from braking my TV set every time I see that woman on TV.

Everything about her annoys me!

BTW - I do know how to spell "breaking" and "stopping".

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.
