Liberal Bias & Conservative Nonsense
http://www.whoslying.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=643&Itemid=2



I am one of the most unpublished writers in America – except for my books, which sell pretty well. – Ann Coulter, Talk, pg. 17


Ann Coulter is perhaps the most uncensored person in America. No one holds her accountable for her words. Far from being unpublished, everyone can read her words in syndicated columns and on the Internet. Everyone can watch her on TV and listen to her on the radio. Everyone can see her in person on college campuses and at numerous political conferences. Coulter is an A-list, high-profile celebrity.

Author and editor David Horowitz was among the first of many to regurgitate Coulter’s claim, buying into her perverse charge that the left-wing media establishment is somehow censoring or suppressing her.

While reading the introduction to Ann's book, I came across her surprising comment that she is “the most unpublished writer in America.” Hyperbole is Ann's metier, but there is always a heavy dose of reality in any of her claims and this was no exception. Yes, her books make her one of the best-selling authors in America today. But Ann is a columnist first and foremost and to this day, despite her prominence as a public intellectual, her biting wit and colorful prose, not a single major newspaper will carry her column. To read her you need to pick up a copy of Human Events, or go to the Internet, the media outlet the left doesn't control. – David Horowitz, 10/8/04
