She's not worthy of any kind of press, considering her new anti-Obama, anti-liberal trash.
People who write things that aren't true to sell books and feed their egos (see Media Matters fact check) are sort of pathetic. But, like Rush, she enjoys the negative press. It gives her pleasure--and sells more books-- when people are in an uproar.
Contrary to reports that she's been banned, she hasn't been. The Today Show bumped her because of breaking news.

What is known for sure is that Coulter posted on her own site that her appearance on tomorrow's Today Show, to promote her new anti-liberal and anti-Obama book, had been axed.Here's this from Hollywood Reporter:
"I guess this ends the 'they just want to get ratings' argument about liberal media bias," Coulter commented on her site.
Michael Calderone at Politico.com put it this way: "Media Matters has been picking apart the book, and last week asked the following: 'Is NBC going to help Coulter sell this book?' Seems like they're not.
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."
Instead, Coulter will appear on CBS' "The Early Show" to promote her book, according to an announcement on Coulter's Web site. It wasn't confirmed immediately by CBS.
"I guess this ends the 'they just want to get ratings' argument about liberal media bias," Coulter wrote on her site of NBC. She was scheduled to appear Jan. 9 on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
