After cancelling Ann Coulter on Tuesday's "Today Show," NBC seemed to cave into pressure and had Coulter on this morning.

Media Matters's blog noted today: 

NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer interviewed author and syndicated columnist Ann Coulter on the January 7 edition of Today despite having reportedly said previously of hosting Coulter on Today, "I think we're going to make that decision on a case by case basis. I mean, if there's something in the news that she has a vital view on, then I think we would consider having her back on. In terms of having her back on just to be outrageous, that probably wouldn't happen." Lauer hosted Coulter to discuss her new book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America. Lauer concluded the January 7 interview by saying, "[B]y the way, you're not banned for life, obviously. OK? The next book comes out, I'm sure you'll be sitting right -- you'll be sitting right here again." Lauer also said during the interview, "We've had you on so many times in the past. After every book, you've always been invited back."
