Good Morning America's Diane Sawyer popped up on Sunday's Reliable Sources and swore that ABC's much-scrutinized health care special with President Obama "won't be an infomercial." She also seriously touted the objectivity of the network, cheering, "I know that our network has worked very, very hard to be completely-completely responsible and fair and serious about big issues."

[SloopJohnB]

Fair and serious? But no response allowed by Repubs!

[TexasCajun]

And no commercials from greedy doctors and insurance companies.

Next month we’ll hear that Diane Sawyer retired to work in the Obama administration.

How much ya wanna bet that NBC (GE) gets to have their own informercial for cap and trade?

[SAJ]

Dayum! That mus’ be some wild weed she be tokin’.

[cartervt2k]

I guess that’s why they rejected any commercials that spoke out against universal health care.

Diane Sawyer... Can you believe this media stooge once worked for Richard Nixon? What a sorry shameless shill
She used to be very foxy, still is, has been coasting for years on her good looks

This is but one small sample of why the American people are turning them off.

They do stuff like this and look at us as straight faced as they can and tell us they are not agenda driven

The only thing missing from the infomercial is Billy May.

Sawyer then gushed, "And Obama really is a totally great President! He really is awesome! Really!"
