Ann Coulter Banned From Piers Morgan's Show

Ann Coulter has found herself banned from Piers Morgan's show "for life" after canceling on the CNN host and going on Fox News instead.

Regular readers of Morgan's Twitter feed saw the whole thing play out in real time on Wednesday night. Morgan had announced on Tuesday that Coulter had canceled her appearance on his Thursday show. (It would have been her second, following a delightfully awkward chat she had with Morgan in June.)

Then, on Wednesday night, Coulter tweeted, "I'm on Hannity tonight! 9pm EST." The Fox News host just happens to be a direct rival with Morgan, whose show also airs at 9.

"Wow," Morgan fired back. "In that case you just banned yourself for life from my show. Congrats."

It's not the first time Coulter has found herself frozen out of a cable news arena. In February, she made her first appearance on MSNBC in years after being fired from the network on two separate occasions.

Morgan is also a quick dispenser of lifetime bans. Before his show began, he announced that he would never have Madonna as a guest because she was "boring."

Morgan clearly has issues, more than just the ratings issues. He bans more people "for life" in a month than I can count on both feet and hands. If this guy wants to be taken seriously he needs to have a reality check and know he isn't the hottest cup of tea in town and his ratings show it. Perhaps if he were a ratings giant he could through his weight around a bit more and it'd mean something but when Piers Morgan says your banned for life it's sorta like when you're 5 years old and you tell your mom you hate your best friend and are never going to talk to them again. In the end, you realize hey, it isn't so bad....and you need each other in order to be successful through the big bad school (called cable news).

Piers, grow up.

Also, did I read this right, Coulter canceled a Thursday night appearance with Morgan but then when he found out she was on Hannity on Wednesday night he banned her? Give me a break, I could see being upset if she cancelled her Thursday night gig with Morgan to show up Thursday with Hannity, I just think Morgan got his feelings hurt.

"For life" means one more season. I think Ann Coulter will outlive both Piers and his infantile show.

Why doesn't Fox do an interview of Piers Morgan.....and ask him what he knows of the Murdock debacle?

With the conflicting appearance on Fox, of course she earned the ban.

Is Piers Morgan's show that popular that this is news?

He seems to be a bit of a snob -

Birds of a Feather !!!!! Yes, Faux & Hacks is better suited for her low standards of ethics .......Where will these guys go when Faux & Hacks are gone !

The only place these fanatics can go is Faux News. When they go out of business soon, where will they go? My first guess is the unemployment line, standing around complaining their government checks are coming fast enough.

sadly not true..she was just on maher and could have been on cnn if she wanted to...it's not just conservative news networks giving her or other republicans an outlet to spew their nonsense.. I think the other news outlets can take a page out of the fox playbook on this...oh but that would be having an agenda..heaven forbid

Oh, big whoop! Won't put a dent in Coulter's schedule and given his connection to Murdoch she's probably happy to stay away. If it matters to her, of course!

This new format is as hideous as the person banned from Morgan's show.

Hideous and the censorship is a small behavior for an expanding site

Let the mod's scrub only about 5% of the comments so we can have somewhat of a spontaneous conversation.
