Diane Sawyer freaking out about her career

OHMYGOSSIP — Diane Sawyer‘s friends are worried that she’s freaking out over her fading career. The TV star’s pals are concerned after Diane’s bizarre behav­ior on election night.

Diane is said to be feeling pressure over umors that she’s facing the axe and that Good Morning America host George Stepha­nopoulos will replace her.

“Suddenly, Diane’s gone from be­ing seen as a great news pioneer to an over-the-hill airhead,” a source said.

“Meanwhile, George is being hailed as the new Walter Cronkite. Diane feels as if she’s being pushed aside, and it’s driving her crazy.

“Her behavior was really due to the stress she’s feel­ing about her job being under threat. Diane has been work­ing really hard and she was tired. It was like a mini-meltdown.

“George is her stand-in on ABC’s evening newscast, and after he was her partner on election night, she’s even more convinced the net­work brass is look­ing to dump her and give him the job permanently. It’s placed a lot of strain on her, and she hasn’t reacted well.”
