From Media Blood Hound:
But there is something else happening here, something that finally reveals why Matthews keeps going to the mat for Coulter. And that something is a direct conflict of interest that MSNBC - and especially Chris Matthews - should not only be ashamed of, but held to account for not informing viewers.
Ann Coulter’s Godless is published by Crown Forum, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group, which is part of Random House. Who is Chris Matthews’ publisher for his upcoming book Life’s a Campaign: What Politics
Has Taught Me About Friendship, Rivalry, Reputation, and Success? You guessed it - Random House.
But wait, there’s more.
Coulter showed up on Hardball this past Tuesday to promote the new paperback edition of Godless, which just happened to be released on the same day of her appearance. (Matthews also fails to point this out to his viewers.) And while this hour-long Coulterfest was nothing more than a deftly marketed, nationally televised promo book party posing as news, it only begins to touch on the disturbing synergy between the two. A little more digging reveals that Coulter's forthcoming book If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans: Ann Coulter at Her Best, Funniest, and Most Outrageous, published by the same Random House company, is scheduled for an October 2, 2007 release. And the release date for Matthews’ Random House publication Life’s a Campaign (his first, incidentally, with Random House)? Whaddya know: October 2, 2007.
How sweet. How cozy. Matthews and Coulter’s next books, published by the same parent company, Random House, are scheduled to hit the shelves simultaneously this fall.
Who knew their fortunes were so directly linked? Essentially, with zero degrees of separation.

Thanks for the information SPB.
I emailed Steve Capus and John Reiss with the information just to let the CEO of MSNBC just that the viewers were tricked by Chris Matthews while using his show it promote Ann's book. Yes I let them know I knew about the Oct. 2 release. I suggested that MSNBC stop letting people like Chris Matthews and Tucker Carlson use NBC to spread the false White House statement and those hateful supporters.
Good job! They are supposed to use that disclosure thing or else they look like idiots. In this case, Tweety Bird is smarter than Tweety Matthews.
Oh, any connect that goes back to Matt Lauer? Horseface looked drunk off her butt during the interview with that guy. Random people off the street who are an eye witness to something look better on camera than that mess. If it was my TV station, I wouldn't let her back on after that bizzare performance.
Jackie,
Good for you for taking action. I was floored when I discovered this information.
So that explains it! yuk the two of them deserve one another.
More trees will die for another trash book, what a waste of paper.
