ABCNEWS DIANE SAWYER TO INTERVIEW PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

[yoely]

Drudge is reporting this, It just good that the President knows to whom to give it

[Guillermo]

Propaganda!

This was designed simply to take away from the "Al Gore Endorses Dean" thunder!

[Judith Anne]

All I can say is, Ms Sawyer had BETTER be a courteous guest in the President's home.

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

I'll bet Katie Couric is happy.

[yoely]

If this is the reason, then its another great political move from a great President

[Reagan Man]

Propaganda?! Come on.

This is smart politics. It's the presidential season and the Christmas season. Savvy move.

[mlbford2]

"Al Gore Endorses Dean" thunder!

Coke just sprayed out my nose. Please stop these kinds of posts. Carbonation hurts my nose.

[JustPiper]

I can't stand that woman as much as I can't stand Martha Stewart -blech- BTW Yoely, welcome to FR ;)

[ameribbean expat]

That "Al Gore Endorses Dean" thunder was just flatulence. Maybe Gore wants to be VP again since he can't get a real job.

[OneTimeLurker]

Isn't there always a WH interview with the president during Christmas season?

[Catspaw]

Ms. Sawyer used to work at the White House--she was an aide to Richard Nixon.

All I can say is, Ms Sawyer had BETTER be a courteous guest in the President's home.

And ABC better not edit the interview to only show what they want everyone to see like all of the networks did to the Cincinnati Police Dept.

[ReaganRevolution]

do you know when this interview will air?

[Labyrinthos]

Ms. Sawyer used to work at the White House--she was an aide to Richard Nixon.

According to Ann Coulter in Slander, DS was not an aide to Nixon, but rather a low level member of the office pool in the White House Press Office. Coulter points that out because in trying to prove that the major media is not biased to the left, the left often tries to paint DS as a Republican merely because she worked in the Nixon White House. Coulter counters that political affiliation was not a criteria for Sawyer's low level position, and despite the fact that she worked in the Nixon Administration, she was and remains left of center.

Why is this in the breaking news section?

[Catspaw]

From her own bio. Maybe Sawyer lied.

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/GoodMorningAmerica/GMA_diane_sawyer_bio.html

Prior to joining CBS News, Sawyer held several positions in the Nixon administration. She was part of the Nixon-Ford transition team from 1974 to 1975. She also assisted former President Nixon in the writing of his memoirs in 1974 and 1975.

"From her own bio. Maybe Sawyer lied."

Heaven forbid! THAT can't be!
Liberals don't lie. It must be that right-wing conspirator Coulter!
</sarcasm>

[Judith Anne]

Okay, I'm willing to see what kind of job ABC will do with the Sawyer interview. I won't be surprised if they get negative and disrespectful, because that's what ABC does. I don't think that Ms Sawyer will be pleasant just because she helped Nixon write his memoirs.

Didn't someone say there was bad blood between the Nixons and the Bush family? I could be mistaken...

I'm just sick of the frikken passes that liberal media--like ABC specifically, Ms Sawyer's employer--give to dims and the EXPECTED adversarial stance I see every single frikken time President Bush is on the frikken network.

(Sorry, I'm grumpy. Not aimed at you, Catspaw, just don't want my Christmas celebration, including an interview at the White House, marred even in small part by a frikken agenda.)

[Catspaw]

I should be grumpy. This is the first morning in years I've overslept. But the upside is that missed the Gore-Dean lovefest this morning.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I trust Diane Sawyer more than most in the media. However, I believe that Chris Mattthews would ask tough but fair questions after the way I have seen him go after Democrats.

Also, I'll bet that the interview is live so that the liberals can't edit it to make the president appear to say something he didn't.
