Ann Coulter banned from NBC

Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics--

Journalists should:
--Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable.
--Be free of obligation to any interest other than the public's right to know.

That was then. This is reality:

"The nation's top selling conservative author has been banned from appearing on NBC, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT."

"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."

Being critical of Obama isn't the downer, honey.
