Did NBC ban Ann Coulter?
TigerHawk — Drudge is flashing that NBC has "banned" Ann Coulter because of the claims in her new, just-released book [image] (which Amazon informs me shipped today), adding the improbable quotation from an unnamed NBC source that "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now, [i]t's such a downer.
