BATTLE FOR FIRST HILLARY INTERVIEW; ABCNEWS SAWYER EMERGES AS FRONTRUNNER AFTER 60 MINS ETHICS QUESTIONED

**Exclusive**

The battle is on inside of top media networks to secure Sen. Hillary Clinton's first TV interview -- launching her book LIVING HISTORY.

ABCNEWS star Diane Sawyer is emerging as the frontrunner after questions were raised about journalism standards surrounding any Hillary interview at CBSNEWS, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Clinton's publisher SIMON AND SCHUSTER had sought an exclusive launch with CBS and 60 MINUTES, insiders reveal, but immediate questions were raised about the 60 MINUTES employment of Hillary's husband, Bill Clinton.

Additional concern over the journalistic fallout of holding the interview at CBS, which is owned by VIACOM, which also owns SIMON AND SCHUSTER, is said to be at issue.

ABC's Sawyer, redhot after scoring with the Dixie Chicks and Whitney Houston, along with lifting GOOD MORNING AMERICA to near-TODAY show audience levels, is the current choice for the Hillary debut, sources close to the senator reveal.

But no deal had been reached as of 6 pm on Monday in New York.

"We never comment on bookings," said a top source at ABC.

ABCNEWS stalwart Barbara Walters was not even considered for the exclusive -- because of her historic Monica Lewinsky interview.

And NBCNEWS host Katie Couric is believed to be on the sidelines for any primetime interview. Couric is seen as too friendly and sympathetic to the former first lady, to offer any credible opening interview for the project.

Developing...

[Brett66]

What a bunch of saps, her interview will be dry, uninteresting, lacking in facts and generally a scripted non-event. Do they think it will be otherwise? Idiots.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Hell, Hillary will ask for the questions ahead of time so she can practice.

Total Bull..(*used feed*).

[malia]

The person I have in mind knows the family well. Is female, sisterhood dotcha know. Knows most of the people that were involved with the Clinton's. Is debuting her first talk show. I think it only fair to pick ---- Monica Lewinsky

[Joy Angela]

The very thought of this interview is disgusting.

Hillary Clinton's book is going to catapult
her into our Living Rooms forever.

The Conspiring-Clintons have elevated PR to an Art Form.

Remember Hillary's Motto:

"Practicing the Art of making the impossible possible."

We're being scammed and conned by two of the best.

Never Forget

[chiefqc]

Does it really matter who does the interview?

The old, ugly, fat, lying crusty, The Ankle, klinton will write the questions and also the answers.

The interview, is at best, useless and a giant waste of time, there will not be one major question asked and the rest of the answers will be nothing but lies. This worthless POS is unable to ever tell the truth.

Just one more reason to show why the TV news stations are less and less to be believed and why their ratings are going down the sewer.

[ladyinred]

Katie is too friendly to Hillary? As if Diane won't be! Please! Let Ann Coulter do it!! Gee, is she in the running?

[exit82]

I like the way you think. I'd like to see Hillary interviewed by Diane Sawyer, with Ann Coulter commenting on everything the Hildabeast says. That would be riveting TV!

[cardinal4]

Clintoplasmodial slime. Thats great!
