...press to reconcile. The problem is most acute for television, since Bush is almost impossible to capture in the standard evening-news format. To get around this perplexity, the networks have lately adopted more unconventional approaches to Bush and his White House. Earlier this season, ABC's Sam Donaldson and Diane Sawyer did an hour-long interview with Bush and his popular wife Barbara on PrimeTime Live.
