[For more, see NewsBusters.] World News anchor and long-time ABC journalist Diane Sawyer signed off for the last time on Wednesday night. The host's final show included a music montage as she offered a behind the scenes look at how the program is created. Sawyer praised World News as "the flag ship broadcast of ABC where Peter Jennings created a signature of such curiosity and courage." Talking to viewers, Sawyer said of the people behind her show: "Determination and the certainty of purpose: They're doing it for you." Sawyer joined ABC in 1989 and if there's been one constant during her long career, it's been fawning,  credulous reporting on dictators.
