I hate Diane Sawyer. Here's another reason why:

NEW YORK, Jul 30, 2004 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Diane Sawyer, fearing ABC may violate U.S. pre-election media rules, made actress Natalie Portman hold flowers in front of her John Kerry T-shirt while on TV.

Portman appeared on "Good Morning America" Thursday to promote her new film, "Garden State," but the actress' shirt, bearing a picture of the Democratic presidential nominee, caused concern among TV executives who feared ABC would get in trouble for not giving Republicans equal time, World Entertainment News Network reported Friday.

Midway through the TV interview, Sawyer told Portman, "Now if I'm gonna talk to you, you're gonna have to hold flowers here in front of the John Kerry (T-shirt). We can't just have John Kerry the whole time. Who do we bring in for equal time?"

Portman, laughing, said "Come on, you've got (Bill O'Reilly's) 'The O'Reilly Factor.' That's on television; that evens it out!"

What a stupid, stupid, stupid person Diane Sawyer is. She truly deserved the "I'll Get You, My Pretty, and Your Little Dog, too!” award that she earned when she asked the Dixie Chicks, "Ashamed? Ashamed? Do you feel awful about using that word about the president of the United States?" One of the Dixie Chicks promptly told Sawyer to go fuck herself (actually, they replied by quoting Teddy Roosevelt, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President or that we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public.")

Just read through the transcript of the Dixie Chicks/Diane Sawyer interview. I'd say that Diane Sawyer is a whore, but that would be disrespectful to prostitutes.
