Coulter and CBS don’t meet in the middle
By Matea Gold • Los Angeles Times • January 7, 2009

NEW YORK — Conservative author Ann Coulter initially seemed pleased Tuesday to appear on CBS’ “The Early Show,” especially after an interview she was set to do on NBC’s “Today” the same morning was canceled.

“You are the most brilliant person in the mainstream media, the most manly,” she told CBS anchor Harry Smith. But by the end of the segment, she was no longer lavishing compliments on Smith, who aggressively confronted the writer about the allegations in her latest book, “Guilty: Liberal `Victims’ and Their Assault on America.”

At one point, he suggested that she was crying victim herself and “should have a cross.”

Smith, who is known for his affable demeanor, noted in his tease for the segment that Coulter called him “certifiably insane” in her book. “Perhaps I am, for having her on the program this morning,” he added.

Later, Smith said he didn’t have any regrets about how he conducted the interview, but ”I’m still not satisfied that we served any public good. “People sort of verbally wrestling with each other — you get a lot of heat and a lot of sweat, but I’m not sure there’s any particular satisfaction for either side,” he added.

2. Hahahahaha

She was spurned by MSNBC or NBC last week. I can't remember which. Now she does not get another cake walk on a different network. It's time to stick to Fux Noize Ann.

9. Coulter wins by default - Harry Smith had her on

No matter what was said - It's a free ad for a hackneyed, unoriginal book of her columns with no news value whatsover

I look forward to CBS having on Connason, Chomsky, Hartman and Naomi Klein for the publicity
