Was Diane Sawyer really drunk?
| Wed, 11-07-2012 - 8:47am |
I have always thought Diane Sawyer was so intelligent and classy. Did anyone see her last night on TV? Did she seem to be acting odd? Was she drunk? I saw on the news this morning that other people apparently thought she might have been. http://news.yahoo.com/abcs-diane-sawyer-spurs-jokes-twitterverse-072230193.html I hope this isn't a sign of a drinking problem. What do you think?

Hi Brenda,
I didn't see the news coverage, but it is all over my FB feed this morning. Anyone have a clip that we could watch? It really is so hard telling- she may have been stressed and/or overly tired from all the coverage? I imagine they work LONG hours when something big like this is taking place.
You can see her here. It's really disturbing. I am hoping she was just really tired and trying to stay awake. Diane Sawyer election night

Thanks for the link; I'd heard about her behavior but hadn't seen it until now.
She does seem a bit out of it, but I'm wondering how many hours she'd been covering the whole thing? Journalist often pull extremely erratic hours, especially with a national event like the Presidential election. It's not unusual for them to be on the clock 48 hours and add that to the previous days of covering the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, she could just be amazingly punch drunk from lack of proper rest. Plus, it's not one long, consecutive ramble, but bits from throughout the long night that have been pulled together. I have a hard time calling it as her being drunk over exhausted unless I'd watched the full coverage.
At first I was like "No way!!" when I saw the title of this post but then I saw the video clip...wow. There was definitely something very off about her
I didn't see it and don't know for sure, but I do know she had just done a lot of coverage of Hurricane Sandy, so maybe it was exhaustion?
I'm almost positive that she's gone on air "high" before; back in the 80s maybe.
