Coulter on Today Show Update
I just finished watching Ann Coulter's appearance on the Today Show. Katie Couric held Coulter's feet to the fire, especially on Coulter's comments on Jerry Falwell (I discuss Coulter's comments on Falwell in today's first segment on Slander; I will post it within the next two hours). I was disappointed that the Today Show producers didn't use what I had faxed them (Alan Colmes used some of the material I sent him when he interviewed Coulter on Fox News last night). If they had, then Couric could have nuked Coulter's contention on the show that "when [Ronald Reagan] was going into his second term, he was, suddenly there was this spate of special-interest articles on senility..." On page 132 of Slander, wrote, “More peculiarly, a spate of general-interest articles on senility began to pop up in large-circulation magazines. In the ten months before the 1984 election, Newsweek, Time, Ladies Home Journal, and U.S. News & World Report all ran major pieces on senility. That’s too many to be a coincidence. " I was going to address Coulter's "research" on this tomorrow, but since she alluded to this today, I will post the material I have on it later today. Trust me, it's hilarious. I will post the following today: 1) an expose of Coulter's blatant misrepresentations in just the first few pages of Slander; and 2) Coulter's hilariously awful content-analysis on the media and senility.
