When Diane Sawyer, who ABC announced Wednesday morning will replace Charles Gibson in January as anchor of World News, filled in as anchor of that newscast on Monday, February 16, she excitedly announced how “the trillion dollar week has begun” and so “finally,” as if it had been too long of a wait, “the stimulus starts to flow.” She soon heralded how “we embark on a week like no other in American economic history” with “a presidential whirlwind of spending against a recession.”
Sawyer brought George Stephanopoulos aboard to admire what Sawyer described as a “scrapbook, if you will, of the President's journey on the road to the stimulus package.” In other words, photos released by the White House. Nonetheless, she effused: “I want to show everybody at home, because there is the President, it's Super Bowl night, and he's serving cookies to congressional leadership in the White House screening room.” (February 16 NewsBusters post, with video.)

September 2, 2009 - 12:08 ET by SgthulkaBecause of one woman, I will now move my viewing habits over to rabbit-ear ABC from Fox.
Because, really, hasn't the whole world been waiting for a liberal woman newscaster to become an anchor?

So we've got Katie, and now
September 2, 2009 - 12:38 ET by HockeyKidSo we've got Katie, and now Diane. Does this mean Bri-Bri needs to start cross-dressing to protect his job? He's already got the girly-swoon down pat.

September 2, 2009 - 13:58 ET by UtherpendI am so ashamed to say that Diane Sawyer is from KY and would like to apologize to the rest of the world for unleashing this blonde air head on the News. Not that she likes to admit it.
