Okay, this is a light hearted (read, Humorous) comment, so before you stand in line for your pitchforks on the left and fire brands on the right… I like Diane Sawyer, she's atractive, witty and intelligent. But for ALL the years I have watched or seen her on TV, I have come to the conclusion that she only has two (2) basic, standard facial expressions: #1 Her constipation medicine has not yet kicked in. and, even worse #2 Her constipation medicine just kicked in! Any nay sayers out there amongst youse guise? |

I've never seen it kick in. |

Yep, that sums up Diane Sawyer. Well, the #1 and #2 parts. Not so much the other stuff.  |

I am sorry guys, but I must confess that I cannot stand Diane Sawyer, especially when she conducts an interview and does everything she can to get the subject to cry. The camera slowly zooms in on a single tear running down the victim's cheek and…voila…the money shot. Break for commercial, and an announcer sells you a stomach remedy.
She is a prime example of all that is wrong in our culture. Marketing-driven empathy, pseudo-concern and hype, with plenty of hugs and condesending smiles to go around. |

Can't stand to watch her long enough to learn the facial expressions. |

Tumbleweed, You are not wrong, but I think Ms Sawyer is ecplipsed in that department by Ann Curry, who could turn that fake sympathy thing off and on like a light switch. |

Which one is the "lean forward with "earnest" expression on the face"? |

Diane Sawyer's tone and delivery when reading the news brings back childhood memories of Miss Nancy on Romper Room with her Magic Mirror. Nope, can't take it for very long. |

Andrew: Roger that. Maybe it's a job requirement. |

How did that go, again? "Romper, stomper, bomper, boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me true…" ? |

I just assume that's the expression a journalist might have when she knows that the next item coming up is "Breaking news – your bathmat may be killing you." |

At least Ann Curry is hot. |
| Militia Pete | 21 Apr 2013 11:01 a.m. PST |
She is not Megyn Kelly. Diane is a bore. |

And to think that once Jessica Savitch was the bane of newscasting, or regarded as such by many. I can't stand Sawyer, she seems the epitome of vacuous, insincere TV "news" broadcasting, everything that the film "Network" made fun of that has now sadly come to pass for normal. |
