Ann Coulter: Fox News isn't a conservative network

When Ann Coulter appeared on Joe Scarborough's show on MSBNBC on Wednesday to promote her new book, Scarborough posed her a series of questions designed to elicit her trademark outrageous responses.
MediaMatters has been hammering NBC hard this week over regularly providing Coulter with a forum to sell her books. On Monday, they charged that "in the weeks following the release of her last book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism ... Coulter made numerous appearances on MSNBC, CNBC, and their parent network, NBC, where she unleashed a stream of attacks on the widows of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks."
On Tuesday, MediaMatters added that "the discussion of her book on Today marks at least Coulter's 195th appearance on an NBC-operated channel (since 1997), even though several NBC hosts and anchors -- including Tonight Show host Jay Leno, Today co-host Matt Lauer, and Nightly News anchor Brian Williams -- have expressed disapproval of Coulter's 'harsh' and 'nasty' statements."
Coulter also insisted that Fox News "isn't really a conservative station. What it is is a debate station. What you see is a conservative debating a liberal, whereas on many other stations you often have lots of liberals making similar but slightly differently nuanced points." However, she also implied that Fox might be considered conservative after all, saying, "It's just something conservatives like to do. Argue."
