The media networks are racing to get Ann Coulter on the air, proving that no beyond-the-pale right-wing comment is so outrageous that it disqualifies you from receiving TV publicity.
This afternoon, CNN gleefully announced:
Ann Coulter joins Paula Zahn with her side of the story, that’s tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Don’t miss it.
Also, last night, Sean Hannity heralded:
Don’t forget. Tomorrow night, Hannity & Colmes. Ann Coulter will be our guest.
This isn’t the first time the media has rewarded Coulter for her hate speech. After she attacked the 9/11 victims, NBC milked the controversy, repeatedly providing a forum for her to talk about it. Similarly, she was given repeated opportunities to discuss her comments suggesting Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) should be murdered.
You can contact Paula Zahn’s show HERE and Hannity & Colmes HERE. As always, please be respectful.
UPDATE: Media Matters has more.
UPDATE II: Atrios explains why we should care about Coulter’s TV appearances.
