We’ve probably all heard about Dan Rather and his “Memogate,”

and you may know of Katie Couric’s anti-Christian bent as

evidenced in her infamous statement against Dr. James Dobson,

saying that he advocated for the murder of homosexuals and

instigated the murder of Matthew Shepherd in Wyoming, and

as also evidenced in the “interview” (or “Liberal Inquisition”)

that she did with Kenneth Starr in which she berated the Bible

and intimated that anyone who believes that any of it is true must be crazy.

But did you know that Diane Sawyer was a trusted White House

employee of the late former President Richard M. Nixon – a

Republican, and that she stabbed him in the back in an interview after

he had left office?

At some point, Ron Ziegler, White House press secretary, hired

Diane Sawyer to serve in the administration of President Richard

M. Nixon. She ended up holding several positions within that

administration, and worked there through his resignation in 1974.

She was part of the Richard Nixon-Gerald Ford transition team

from 1974 to 1975. She also assisted former President

Nixon in the writing of his memoirs in 1974 and 1975. As you

will see from a later interview she did with the former President,

Sawyer had been a trusted employee of Nixon’s, but she would

betray that trust, just as it seems to me as all liberals eventually do,

and hurt him only to advance her own career and the liberal agenda.

Nixon was in the process of putting Watergate behind him, had

entered back into public life, and was again making a positive

contribution to society, as you will see below, and that must

have taken tremendous courage, given the fact that every liberal

in America was against him, and also given the fact that

he had given them the opportunity they had long been eagerly

awaiting: the opportunity to discredit a Republican administration.

It must have felt like a tremendous coup for them.

Well, here are the facts of the matter. According to Robert Sam

Anson in his 1984 book, Exile: The Unquiet Oblivion of Richard

M. Nixon (New York: Simon and Schuster), pp. 261-265:

(Note: In the transcript, Nixon uses God’s Name flippantly on

two occasions, not as profanity, but disrespectfully, so be warned

if you respect the Lord. I have put it here as “thank _____, with the

word “God” going in the blank, not out of superstition, but out of the

respect for God that He deserves.)

… Richard Nixon … had come out of the desert. He was

back in the arena again.

Like a force suddenly let loose, Nixon was a blur of activity the 

next several months.

In January, he put the finishing touches on his manuscript

and submitted it to his publisher.

In February, he flew to Jamaica for two weeks of

vacationing and conferences with the newly elected

conservative prime minister, Edward Seaga.

In March, he traveled again to Morocco for talks with

King Hassan.

In April, he granted a long interview to Time on his

current thoughts on the state of the presidency.

In May, he delivered a foreign policy address to a

Republican fundraiser in Orange County, California.

And there was more ahead. In the next year, he would

deliver seven major speeches, appear on eleven network

interview shows, attend seven GOP fundraisers, travel

to nine foreign countries (meeting the heads of state of

each), confer with the editorial boards of several major

publications, and, if he got around to it, perhaps grant

interviews to the 150 reporters with standing requests.

Such was his prominence that even hated Harvard

was asking him to come.

Confident was not the word for Richard Nixon’s mood.

He was ebullient, and, with the reception he had been getting

of late, there was cause for it. When he addressed the

party faithful in Orange County, denouncing proponents

of the nuclear freeze and warning that the next year was

going to be “tough politically,” he was introduced as

“truly one of our great Presidents” and a band played

“Hail to the Chief.” Afterward, the Republican

autograph-hunters, many of whom had paid $1000 a piece

to shake his hand, stood in queues thirty-deep. In

Morocco, where the king hosted one banquet in his

honor and the U.S. ambassador another, 75,000 people

gathered outside his Marrakech hotel on the chance

they might get a glimpse of him. When Nixon rewarded

them by wading into the crowd to shake hands and hold

up babies, a chant went up in Arabic, “You should

still be President.” Nixon responded by flinging out his

arms in his V-for-Victory campaign salute, and shouting

into the din, “Hasta luego!”

The only bit of unpleasantness in all of this came from

an unexpected source. In late May, as Nixon was setting

his plans for a three-week trip to Eastern Europe, Diane

Sawyer called, asking for an interview. Since leaving

San Clemente, Sawyer had become a television star for

CBS, first as the network’s State Department correspondent,

and later as co-host of the CBS Morning News. Throughout,

her relations with Nixon had remained friendly, and Nixon

agreed to the interview request. He coupled his

acceptance with an invitation to dinner.

At first, the session went well. Nixon was in a relaxed,

almost playful mood, gently poking fun at himself

(“My media critics consider that—that I’m rather the

one who probably was behind the barn door when the

brains were handed out.”), advising Teddy Kennedy to

lose twenty pounds  and “get some new ideas” (“I’m sure

he will; he’s a very practical man.”) and terming former

Vice President Walter Mondale (“Mondale, blah!) “just

a warmed-over Carter.” As for Reagan, Nixon had nothing

but praise.

“Now,” Nixon said, “if—if—if you ask whether he’s smart

in terms of IQ, in terms of whether or not he would be

accepted as a full professor at Harvard, the

probabl—the answer is, probably not and thank _____ we

don’t have a full professor at Harvard as President.”

His tone sharpened when Sawyer asked him about the

press. “Now let’s talk about the ladies in the press for a

moment,” Nixon replied. “We have to realize that men

reporters can be tough, but women reporters think they have

to be tougher; they’ve got to prove something. . . . A

delightful fellow, Manolo Sanchez, who worked for us

when we were in the White House years—walking by the

press quarters, he used to refer—he’d look in there, and

he says, ‘There you have the vultures and the witches.’ Now

[by] the vultures he referred to the men, [by] the witches

he referred to the women.” Nixon shrugged. “My views

are a bit old-fashioned, I must admit. . . . But . . . like the

little ditty from the song, ‘Why can’t a woman be like a

man?’ . . . I want women to be like women. I want men to be

like men.”

“Maybe . . . the press has a visceral reaction against me,”

he went on. “Maybe it was my manner, I don’t know.

But it was there, and, as far as I am concerned, it’s now

live and let live.” He smiled at Sawyer. “They

usually have underestimated me. And—but I’ve done

reasonably well, except for some unfortunate events which

we won’t go into at the moment.”

But it was precisely those events Sawyer did want to go into.

Noting that the tenth anniversary of the Watergate

break-in was approaching, she asked what it now meant to him.

“It happened a long time ago,” Nixon answered, eyes

narrowing. “I’ve said everything I—I can on the subject. I

have nothing to add, and I’m looking to the future rather than

the past. . . . I’ve always said this: ‘Remember Lot’s wife.

Never look back.’”

Sawyer continued to press. “But a lot of people say, and these

are common people, ordinary people, people in the street,

say that you never just said, ‘I covered up and I’m sorry.’”

“Well, that—is, of course, not true,” Nixon replied with

apparent agitation. “As a matter of fact, if you—if you go back

and look at the Frost broadcast, and if you read my memoirs,

I’ve covered all that in great, great detail. And I’ve said it

all, and I’m not going to say anything more in the future.”

Sawyer was not so easily put off. “Do you think about it when

you’re just sitting alone, when some—when it’s—you’re not working?”

“Never,” Nixon snapped. “No. If I were thinking about it,

I wouldn’t be able to—do I—what is some of the constructive

work I’ve been doing on my new book, and also preparing for

the travels I’m going to be doing. You see, I

understand—I—I—I—understand the obsession with this

subject. It’s understandable. But people who are obsessed

with it don’t understand me. I went through it, I know what went

wrong, I know that I have a responsibility, I’m not trying

to excuse myself. But I’m not going to spend my time just

looking back and wringing my hands about something I can’t

do anything about.”

The exchange grew increasingly hostile.

SAWYER: You don’t even sit sometimes and think to

yourself, once again, as everyone thinks you must, “Why didn’t

I burn those tapes?”

NIXON: I’ve covered that also, of course, in my — in my

memoirs, and I must say that if — I must get — I must get a oh,

a half a dozen letters a week even now. “Why didn’t you

burn those tapes?” And the answer is, of course, I should. It

should have been done. But the main part is, they should never

have been started.

SAWYER: You did say to David Frost, you said that

you made horrendous mistakes, ones not worthy of a President,

ones that did not meet the standard of excellence that you dreamed

of as a young boy. What was the worst one, the thing that

you’re most sorry about?

NIXON: Oh—oh—oh, the worst one—the—the—I’ve—covered

this in great detail, and I’m not going to go into it any further.

SAWYER: There’s no one thing that you had in mind when

you were saying that?

NIXON: Well, the—the—well—well, the—if—if—well, it—I

th—I’ve—I’ve covered it already, but its- -it perhaps is—on

reflection, the thing that was the greatest mistake was in

failing to concentrate on it the moment I got word on it.

SAWYER: What’s it like to be Richard Nixon, and go out and walk

into a room? Do you — what do you sense when you walk into a

room? Do you ever think, these people are looking at me because

I resigned, or that—you—

NIXON: No, I never look back. I never did look back. And

people are very friendly. You—you have to realize that people

who reach the highest levels in public life don’t become

obsessed with themselves, and thinking, “Oh, my ______, what are

people going to be thinking of me,” and all that sort of thing. If they do,

they’re never going to be great leaders.

SAWYER: You also said to David Frost, you said, “I let down my

friends, I let down the country, I let down an opportunity I had for

projects that would have built a lasting peace; and I let the

American people down, and I have to carry that burden with me the

rest of my life.” Does that burden get heavier or lighter?

NIXON: Now that says it all, right there, and, as far as I am

concerned, having said it then, I’m not going to say it again now.

SAWYER: Could I get some phrases again? John Mitchell.

NIXON: Well, I think I’ve covered enough now, so

we’ll—I—I think we’ll—

SAWYER: How about John Dean?

NIXON: No comment.

SAWYER: You won’t even say whether the burden, year by year,

gets heavier or lighter?

NIXON: No (pauses) I’ve—I’ve already pointed out that I’m not

looking back.

The camera switched off. Nixon smiled tightly at Sawyer and

rubbed his hands together, as he did when he was nervous.

“Well,” he said, “you got it?”

When Sawyer returned to her office, a message was awaiting her.

The dinner was canceled.

That 1970s interview should serve as an example of the blatant disregard,

the outright hatred, that all liberals, Diane Sawyer included, have for

their fellow human beings who hold a point of view which goes

against their liberal, socialist, communist, anti-God agenda, especially

if that person has even a small amount of influence. And Nixon had been

a President, so of course they hated him. The more influence that one has

for the good, the more that person is hated by the liberals. Their attacks

are merciless and calculated, sometimes years in advance. We must

fight them, but we had better know with whom we are dealing.

According to Anson, Sawyer had acted “as interrogator” to help prepare

Nixon for the March 23, 1977 television interview with David Frost.

She had been trusted by President Nixon. But she betrayed that trust.

Maybe the following is at least a little telling. Back on August 9, 1974,

President Richard M. Nixon had appeared on television to announce

that he was resigning the presidency. Diane Sawyer was, at the time,

working as an assistant in the press office of Ron Ziegler, White House

press secretary. According to Anson on page 14 of his book, “As she

looked closely at the television screen from on board Air Force One,

she noticed that there were tears in his [Nixon’s] eyes.” There was no mention

of tears in her eyes. Pretty strange for someone who had worked for the

first American President in history to resign his office - unless she had

never agreed with his philosophy in the first place. After all, in what

may be another little-known fact, she was at one time considered a

strong suspect for being “Deep Throat” during the Watergate scandal.

She was one of six people to request and receive a public denial from

Bob Woodward. But she wouldn’t have been considered a strong suspect

unless she had been on the inside of the Nixon administration and unless

she had also been a person who disagreed with at least some of Nixon’s policies.

Nixon wasn’t without sin. But then, none of us are. God has made that plain to us.

There are many verses in the Bible which point to this fact, but one that is

well-known and that points it up very plainly is Romans 3:23, which says,

“…all have sinned, and fall short of God’s glorious standard.” The good news is

that God has made a way out. He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to pay the

penalty for us on the cross. Everyone who repents of their sins and believes

on Him receives forgiveness and eternal life. You can pray to God right now

and accept Jesus Christ as Lord. You don’t have to be in a church to do it,

although God commands you to join a good, Bible believing church once

you have done it. You need the fellowship of other Christians.

Jesus, who is God, says in Matthew 7:5 (and this is also recorded in Luke 6:42),

“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see

clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” We have developed at least

a couple of sayings from that verse. “Clean up your own backyard before

you go to telling me to clean mine up.” And, “Isn‘t that the pot calling the

kettle black?” So, since Diane Sawyer took the liberty to attempt to

make President Nixon feel like he should keep that burden on his back for

the rest of his life here on earth (and she was probably, in my opinion,

hoping that it would only get heavier for the rest of his life), then I

believe that Diane Sawyer’s life deserves being looked at as well.

What has she actually done in life? I think the record shows that she won a

beauty contest when she was about 18, thereby getting a scholarship to college,

chose to attend an all-women’s college (pretty strange choice for a liberal),

and went into “journalism,” a profession in which you really need to be more

of an actor or actress than an actual journalist, since the main qualification is

the ability to read cue cards and look into the camera that has the light on

rather than the one that is momentarily turned off.

Now, those who run the liberal media would like for the rest of us to think that

they and all the people who work for them are wholesome, squeaky-clean,

completely trustworthy, and entirely above reproach. But such is usually not

the case. And ABC television “journalist” Diane Sawyer is one poignant

illustration of this.

ABC News currently promotes Sawyer as follows: “Among U.S. broadcasters,

she is among the most popular according to recent surveys.”

A few facts on Diane Sawyer: Full name: Lila Diane Sawyer. Age: 61.

Birth date: December 22, 1945. Works for ABC News and is co-anchor of

ABC’s Good Morning America. Profession: Television journalist. I may have a

bit of a problem with that. Maybe it should read, “Misleading television

commentator who attempts to pass off as fact the opinions of every anti-American,

anti-God individual and organization on earth, and does so in such a way that she

tries to convince and influence the American people to believe that those

opinions are American, and that they are worthy of adopting as one’s own.”

Diane Sawyer was born in Glasgow, Kentucky. Soon after her birth, she

moved to Louisville, Kentucky with her parents. She won the “America’s

Junior Miss for 1963” scholarship pageant, a beauty pageant, as a representative

 from the State of Kentucky, which must have provided her with a scholarship

 to attend college. She received a B.A. degree in English from Wellesley

College in Massachusetts in 1967 and completed a semester of law school

before deciding on a career in broadcasting. Now, as I’ve already said,

Wellesley is a college for women only. She must have chosen Wellesley.

I can’t imagine the “America’s Junior Miss” pageant people saying, “Now,

we’re giving you a college scholarship, but you can only use it to go to

Wellesley.” Or, if they did say that, then Sawyer could have turned them down

on “principle,” saying that an all-women’s college was just as unacceptable

in her eyes as an all-men’s college. Or maybe she wasn’t a liberal yet, given the

fact that she later went to work in a Republican administration. At any rate,

Diane Sawyer had no problem attending Wellesley for four years, but I’m

guessing that she does have a problem today with even the thought of

allowing the existence of any college that is for men only, being given over,

as she is, to the ideologies of the feminist movement and the women’s

liberation movement. The motto of her alma mater is “Non Ministrari sed

Ministrare” - “Not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” That motto is

taken from the words of Jesus in Matthew 20:28 and Mark 10:45, which say,

in part, “…the Son of Man (Jesus referring to Himself) did not come to be served,

but to serve, …” That’s another irony, given the fact of Sawyer’s obvious

anti-Christian sentiments.

After college, Sawyer went back to Louisville, Kentucky in 1967 and began her

career in broadcasting at a local television station, WLKY, where she was a

local TV news reporter until 1970.

At some point, Ron Ziegler, White House press secretary, hired Diane Sawyer

to serve in the administration of President Richard M. Nixon. She ended up

holding several positions within the Nixon administration. She worked

in his administration through his resignation in 1974. She was part of the

Richard Nixon-Gerald Ford transition team from 1974 to 1975. She also

assisted former President Nixon in the writing of his memoirs in 1974 and 1975.

Eerily, I have not been able to find any information on what Diane Sawyer was

doing between 1975 and 1978, the time between her leaving political life and

her going to work for the mass media.

She became a political correspondent for CBS in 1978, working

as CBS News’ State Department Correspondent. She was a floor

correspondent for the 1980 Democratic Convention. She became a

co-anchor of the CBS Morning News in 1981. She was a floor

correspondent for the 1984 Republican and Democratic National

Conventions. She became a correspondent for 60 Minutes in 1984,

and was the first woman to co-anchor that show. She stayed there for

five years. She got married to director Mike Nichols on April 29,

1988, making her 42 years old when she married him. She was podium

correspondent for the 1988 Democratic and Republican National

Conventions. She moved to ABC in February 1989 to co-anchor

Primetime Live with Sam Donaldson. In addition to her Primetime

assignment, Sawyer was named co-anchor, with Charles Gibson, of

Good Morning America in January 1999. Sawyer and Robbie Gordon

received the 2004 George Polk Award for Television Reporting given

annually by Long Island University to honor contributions to journalistic

integrity and investigative reporting.

According to ABC News’ own website, “Sawyer reported live from

Ground Zero during the week of Sept. 11 and interviewed over

60 widows who gave birth after the World Trade Center disaster.

She recently returned to Afghanistan to reunite the women profiled in

her landmark 1996 report from behind the burqua, as one of the first

Western journalists to expose the plight of women under Taliban rule.

She also presented a groundbreaking two-hour special on gay adoption

and the foster care system, featuring Rosie O'Donnell's personal story as a

gay parent.

“Her interviews include President George W. Bush in his first 

national interview; Saddam Hussein, the first Western television 

interview granted by the Iraqi president for nearly a decade; 

President Fidel Castro; Robert MacNamara's public apology on Vietnam; 

… Ellen DeGeneres, who announced her homosexuality; ousted Panamanian 

leader Manuel Noriega's first interview from prison; Michael Jackson 

and his then-wife Lisa Marie Presley's only interview; Michael J. 

Fox's interview about Parkinson's disease and the decision to leave 

his show; and former first lady Nancy Reagan on President Reagan's 

battle with Alzheimer's disease and their 50-year marriage. She also 

had the first interview at home with the Clintons after the 1992 

presidential election.

“Other important investigations include … uncovering the questionable 

business practices of three major televangelists … Sawyer's revealing 

hidden-camera investigation of racial discrimination, which 

documented the different experiences of blacks and whites in America, 

also won the Grand Prize in the prestigious Robert F. Kennedy 

Journalism Awards.

“Sawyer's overseas reporting includes her coverage of the attempted 

coup in Moscow, when she made her way into the office of Boris 

Yeltsin at the moment the attempted Soviet coup was at its crisis. 

During the Gulf War, she traveled to Egypt to interview President 

Hosni Mubarak and to Amman, Jordan, where she interviewed King 

Hussein and his American-born wife, Queen Noor. She is one of the few 

Western journalists ever to report from North Korea on the famine and 

the government's attempt to keep it secret.”

Now, let’s take a look at some of those “accomplishments.”

ABC News says, “Sawyer reported live from Ground Zero during the week 

of Sept. 11 and interviewed over 60 widows who gave birth after the 

World Trade Center disaster.” Knowing the “reporting” style of Diane 

Sawyer and the rest of the liberal media, I’m sure that it was all 

designed to encourage anti-American sentiment, as in “the attacks 

were all our fault,” and, “Let’s figure out what we did wrong to make 

them so mad and not do it again.” The liberals are still the Blame 

America First crowd, and most probably, they always will be. Why 

can’t we have a pro-God, pro-America media? We do have a right to it. 

We have a basic right to the pursuit of happiness, and how can we 

pursue happiness when the media is constantly trying to make us feel 

bad about ourselves?

ABC News says, “She recently returned to Afghanistan to reunite the 

women profiled in her landmark 1996 report from behind the burqua, as 

one of the first Western journalists to expose the plight of women 

under Taliban rule.” Does Diane Sawyer support exporting the feminist 

movement and the women’s liberation movement to Afghanistan? Does she 

want for Afghan women to go to the same colleges as Afghan men? Or 

does she advocate for them to go to all-women’s colleges, as she did? 

If it’s good enough for Diane, it should be good enough for all women 

everywhere, right?

ABC News says, “She also presented a groundbreaking two-hour special 

on gay adoption and the foster care system, featuring Rosie 

O'Donnell's personal story as a gay parent.” The last thing that we 

need in this country, or anywhere, for that matter, is for people 

involved in homosexuality to raise children! That story is only 

groundbreaking if your goal is to push homosexuality on all the rest 

of us. In addition, I remember before Rosie O’Donnell made it public 

that she was involved in homosexuality, she ridiculed the Rev. Dr. 

Jerry Falwell for saying that if the character Tinky Winky on the 

children’s television show TeleTubbies was supposed to be “gay,” 

then it was wrong. (Tinky Winky was supposedly a male, but he carried 

a purse.) Well, we soon found out why Rosie O’Donnell supported a 

cross-dressing character.

To continue, “Her interviews include President George W. Bush in his 

first national interview;...” I’m sure she didn’t try to make him 

look good. “…Saddam Hussein, the first Western television interview 

granted by the Iraqi president for nearly a decade;…” I’m sure she 

enjoyed interviewing him - someone with whom she probably felt a 

natural kinship. I wonder whether she cried when he was hanged. I’d 

rather be ruled by Richard M. Nixon than Saddam Hussein any day. “…

President Fidel Castro;…” Bet she enjoyed that one, too. “…Robert 

MacNamara's public apology on Vietnam;…” Bet she loved that one. “…

Ellen DeGeneres, who announced her homosexuality;…” Diane must be 

especially proud of that one. The announcement of her homosexuality. 

It was probably described at the time by ABC News as 

being “groundbreaking.” A precursor to the Rosie O’Donnell raising a 

child story. The plot thickens, or sickens, or both. “…Michael 

Jackson and his then-wife Lisa Marie Presley's only interview;…” No 

comment needed on that one. “Michael J. Fox's interview about 

Parkinson's disease and the decision to leave his show; and former 

first lady Nancy Reagan on President Reagan's battle with Alzheimer's 

disease and their 50-year marriage.” Both obviously designed to 

elicit support for stem research that murders an embryonic human 

being - research that hasn’t produced a single cure, while research 

on adult stem cells - research that doesn’t murder anybody, has 

produced dozens of cures. And on January 9, 2007, I heard on the 

radio that stem cells from amniotic fluid can grow new tissue and has 

the very real potential of producing incredible cures! Why do 

liberals support programs and policies that end up producing death? 

Well, the Bible tells us that sin is pleasurable for a time, but the 

end thereof is death. So, as they pursue sin, it leads, naturally, to 

death. “She also had the first interview at home with the Clintons 

after the 1992 presidential election.” How sweet. Someone who 

believes the same way she does.

“Other important investigations include … uncovering the questionable 

business practices of three major televangelists …” Why not 

investigate the questionable business practices of three major 

homosexuals, or three major news networks? Oh, yes. Because that 

wouldn’t fit into the anti-American template of discrediting 

Christians and Christianity, promoting homosexuality, and protecting 

the media’s ability to continue trying to destroy this great nation 

called America. “…Sawyer's revealing hidden-camera investigation of 

racial discrimination, which documented the different experiences of 

blacks and whites in America, also won the Grand Prize in the 

prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards.” Racial 

discrimination is bad. But I could tell her some places in 

Mississippi in 2007 where she could hide her camera and find Blacks 

racially discriminating against Whites, Asians, and Hispanics, and 

even other Blacks who don’t fit into the liberal media’s definition 

of “Black culture.” But I bet ABC News wouldn’t be interested in 

doing that story. They’d only be interested in discrediting the 

people who’d like to bring it out into the open and implement a 

solution. And speaking of Robert F. Kennedy, then-California Governor 

Ronald Reagan destroyed Kennedy, who was a Senator at the time, in a 

televised debate on May 15, 1967. I haven’t yet been able to find it 

anywhere on the Internet to view it, not even on YouTube, and CBS has 

the rights to it. As important as it is, I think that it should be in 

the public domain, but I also believe that there are certain people 

who don’t want for anyone to see it because it clearly shows the 

superiority of conservative beliefs to liberal ones, and it shows how 

the debating skill of Ronald Reagan was vastly superior to that of 

Bobby Kennedy.

But the beat goes on. “Sawyer's overseas reporting includes her 

coverage of the attempted coup in Moscow, when she made her way into 

the office of Boris Yeltsin at the moment the attempted Soviet coup 

was at its crisis.” How did she manage to get into the office right 

at that moment? “During the Gulf War, she traveled to Egypt to 

interview President Hosni Mubarak and to Amman, Jordan, where she 

interviewed King Hussein and his American-born wife, Queen Noor.” Why 

not interview American service members, and tell their true stories? 

Is it so bad to be pro-American when you’re supposed to be an 

American? “She is one of the few Western journalists ever to report 

from North Korea on the famine and the government's attempt to keep 

it secret.” Which government? Ours or theirs? To the liberal, it 

doesn’t always matter. Anything to discredit a government. Just 

today, January 10, 2007, I heard on the radio of a first-hand account 

of a man in North Korea who was murdered just for having in his 

possession two copies of the Bible and for holding a Bible study in 

his own home with his own family. He was murdered immediately upon 

being discovered by his communist government. Diane would probably 

say in intimate conversations with her friends that he deserved it. 

But in reality, the United States government should decide that we 

can no longer bow to the liberals. We should send money, supplies, 

and weapons to the citizens of North Korea who want to fight against 

their evil government that oppresses those who believe in the Truth 

and want to do what’s right, and we should send a few of the Army’s 

Special Forces units in to train them so that they can win. That’s a 

very American thing to do.

And what awards the liberals give to each other to create the 

illusion of credibility! This from ABC: “In addition to her Dupont 

Awards, Robert F. Kennedy awards, and numerous Emmys, her many honors 

include the grand prize of the premier Investigative Reporters and 

Editors Association, two George Foster Peabody Awards for public 

service, an IRTS Lifetime Achievement Award, Broadcast Magazine Hall 

of Fame and the USC Distinguished Achievement in Journalism Award. In 

1997, she was inducted into the Television Academy of Fame.”

In 2004, Diane Sawyer and Robbie Gordon of ABC News PrimeTime Live 

received the George Polk Award for Television Reporting that is given 

out annually by Long Island University. The Polk Award was named for 

George W. Polk (1913-1948), a CBS correspondent who was killed or 

murdered in Greece during the Greek civil war. According to Elias 

Vlanton, author of the book, Who Killed George Polk? The Press Covers 

Up a Death in the Family, Polk had relentlessly criticized players on 

both sides of the Greek civil war. Amazingly, at least in my opinion, 

Sawyer, a recipient of the Polk Award, only covers stories in a way 

that favors the liberal point of view.

Now, let’s take a look at how much she has been paid for the “work” 

that she’s done.

According to a New York Times story by Peter J. Boyer dated December 

22, 1986, Diane Sawyer was at the time (her contract with CBS about 

to expire the next week) in negotiations with all three major 

television networks - ABC, NBC, and CBS, who were competing intensely 

for her services. All three were reportedly vying for her with 

assorted packages involving more money, more air time, and the 

potential of an anchor role. In another story, in the same newspaper -

 story written by the same reporter, eight days later, it was 

reported that Sawyer had agreed to stay with CBS under a new, five-

year contract that would raise her salary from about $840,000 a year 

to about $1.2 million a year, according to sources close to the 

contract negotiations. It was also reported, interestingly, that 

Sawyer had been in Louisville with her family on the previous day and 

was “not talking to the press,” according to a CBS spokesman, Ann 

Morfogen. A television personality not talking to the press? It seems 

that the media people give to themselves privileges that they don’t 

think the rest of us have.

On February 20, 1989, the New York Times, in a story by Jeremy 

Gerard, reported that Diane Sawyer was leaving CBS for a five-year 

contract with ABC, which means that she didn’t finish out her five-

year contract with CBS. Diane Sawyer would “reportedly earn $7.5 

million under her new five-year contract with ABC, which hired her 

away from CBS with the offer of an anchor's chair.”

I guess it takes an awful lot of money to try to assuage a guilty 

conscience.

There were, at one time, rumors that Sawyer would host World News 

Tonight. However, on May 23, 2006, it was announced that Charles 

Gibson, Sawyer’s co-anchor at Good Morning America, would assume the 

anchor chair for World News Tonight, and on June 28, 2006, Gibson 

left Good Morning America to begin work in that position. She was not 

only passed over for the top anchor job at ABC News when they hired 

Charles Gibson; she was also passed over for another top anchor job - 

the one at CBS News, who hired Katie Couric.

According to one source, it is rumored that Sawyer will leave GMA 

when her contract ends in 2007, where she has been popular with 

viewers. (Source’s words, not mine.) However, according to that same 

source, controversy and negative response from viewers had been 

generated by Sawyer’s undercover investigative news reports about 

child abuse, and the specific instances in which Sawyer and the 

investigative team failed to report the documented abuse to child 

welfare authorities.

Could her being passed over for two top anchor jobs be in part 

because of her failure to report child abuse to the authorities, 

which could come back to cause problems for a network in the future? 

Or could it be that liberals just don’t always take care of their own?

I’d say that today, every news anchor is more an actor or actress and 

an advocate for the liberal ideology than they are a reporter. Their 

most important assets are some acting ability, the ability to read 

cue cards convincingly, and agreement with the liberal viewpoint. But 

the ancient Greek word for actor is the word from which we get our 

word “hypocrite,” meaning someone who pretends to be something he is 

not. That’s what the liberals are today. Except they’re not just 

entertaining us, although by “entertain” I mean “to get someone’s 

attention and hold it for a long time,” and that is wasting our time 

and keeping us from the important work of spending time with our 

families and reclaiming our country before it’s taken away from us. 

No, they’re not entertaining us because they like us and want to 

bring us pleasure. They’re keeping our attention, and they’re keeping 

us distracted until they’ve taken away everything and left us with 

nothing except what they say we can have - that is, if they let us 

live.

That’s something to think about, and it’s something to pray about. 

And then, once you’ve done some thinking and praying, it’s something 

to also take action on. You can take action by seeking out good 

candidates, helping them with their campaigns, and voting for them, 

or by becoming a candidate yourself. It’s time to compel your 

neighbors to action, too. Make them realize the shape we’re in, and 

let’s all pitch in together to save this great nation of ours before 

it’s too late.
