answer:Coulter isn’t a reporter; she’s a commentator – paid for giving her opinion. So the ‘rules’ such as they are are whole lot looser for commentators than they are for people who are supposed to be reporting the facts. (Although there have been plenty of blurred lines in the last 10 years) There is no accountability in opinion journalism, The only people who can force someone to tell the truth would be her advertisers and her audience. And they would do that by ceasing to pay for her show or simply stopping listening or reading what she said. And there are far too many sheep in this country who live for people like Coulter because it feeds their paranoia. Look no further than Hannity, Boortz, O’Reilly, Cain, Maddow, Beck, and out old friend Limbaugh. Extremism sells.
