What is wrong with Diane Sawyer?? She is talking slow and slurring some words. Has anyone else

8. She's always that way, is a soft-"news"/NOT-news reader, not a reporter

She's also frequently gone "on assignment" a lot. But when she's there, try clicking the 3 networks at the beginnings of the shows, where the top stories are previewed: Hers are invariably the "human interest" stuff, although the other two generally swing more that way, too.

It was emblematic during the Egyptian revolt: COURIC, also not a real reporter, and COOPER (arguably not either), at least went through the motions of going over there. Where was SAWYER, why, she was at her studio, with a map of Egypt on the floor, and there she was in spike heels, and teetering to point down at the floor "here" and "here" all hunched over to do the pointing.

Now I have been corrected before when I say she was an intern for NIXON, somebody saying she was a low level staffer in press secretary Ron ZIEGLER's shop, but after the Trickster was booted, she DID go with him to work on his attempted-rehabilitation book with him.

I don't know what to make of her: Married to celebrated director and former comedian Mike NICHOLS, whom I would guess is in the Liberal sphere just because of his art, not that I actually know.

But as is said that Bahbwah WALTERS turned the news business into entertainment and SAWYER both fits in that mold while also just looking lost.

From the get-go I thought ABC should have put George in the JENNINGS seat instead of giving her her turn.
