The following is a memo from ABC News president David Westin to ABC News staff today:
Today, Charlie Gibson announced to his colleagues at World News that he has decided to step down as anchor effective at the end of this year. I attach below Charlie's full email.
I have asked Diane Sawyer to serve as the next anchor of World News, and she will assume that position in January.

And the downward spiral of the SRM continues.
(BTW, if Westin really had any kind of testicles whatsoever, he’d go out on a limb and have John Stossel anchor World News.)
Is there a bigger spaz than Diane Sawyer?
Buh bye.
Katie Couric comes to mind
Passing the batton from one lib to another
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out..
oh wait.next assignment? prolly something in the WH.
Passing the batton from one lib to another
BINGO! We have a winner!
Now, if someone would just throw a bucket of water on Katie Couric.
Really!
If they are going to 'chickify' the news, at least they could hire Melissa Theuriau.
assume the position
*snicker*
Blots out the sun!!
Broadcast TV News is really going to be dead soon
doing the nightly network news? Hi Diane, I'm with Obama's Diversity Section of his New Civilian Security Force... 
and we suggest you rethink this--
Exactamundo! We need a wise Latino woman... 
who can lie as well as I do!
At least he would be an improvement on Gibbs. Hell, Scott McClellan would be an improvement on Gibbs!
Hey now some of those news anchor chicks on Univision are pretty hot.
really?? I thought it had one T in baton... no?
shouldn’t she be attending her mandatory end of life counseling.....
I might actually start watching the evening broadcast again, if that happened. The only way I'm watching Diane Nichols is if she promises to set herself on fire the first night.
I’ll give her this much, she was a little minx back in the day. Sawyer, not Couric. Couric has always looked like she should live in a tree and bake cookies.
