Ann Coulter's second book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, was published by Crown Forum in 2002. In the text, she argues that the media's coverage of President Bush is unfair and biased.
She blames liberals for the fact that American political debate has become increasingly hostile, overly personal, and insufferably trivial. Some have quarreled with the choices of words she has had for certain politicians and commentators, such as John Howard.
Slander was extremely succesful, becomming and instant best seller. It raised many tough questions which the left still struggle to answer, for example Coulter explains that “In 1993 Al Gore saw busts of Washington and Franklin and asked, ‘Who are these guys?’ The story was carried only by USA Today.. The account had been repeated in several papers, including the New York Times, yet numerous liberal sources claim Al Gore was referring to busts of John Paul Jones and Marquis de Lafayette although the Media Research Center has video of the occasion available online. [1]
She also demonstrates the attempts by the lef to drown out reasonable debate in America, and how this is damaging the worlds greatest democracy.
