Equal time for T shirts?
From the Miami Herald last Saturday:
Actress Natalie Portman's political T-shirt statement on Good Morning America Thursday morning left bosses so worried, her interviewer asked her cover it with a bunch of flowers, reports IMDB.com.The Star Wars beauty made an appearance to promote her new movie Garden State, but her bold T-shirt bearing presidential hopeful John Kerry's name and picture prompted veteran journalist Diane Sawyer's fear her network ABC would fall foul of pre-election guidelines.
Partway through the interview, a smiling Sawyer said, ``Now if I'm gonna talk to you, you're gonna have to hold flowers here in front of John Kerry. We can't just have John Kerry the whole time. Who do we bring in for equal time?''
A stunned but laughing Portman shot back, ``Come on, you've got [Bill O'Reilly's] The O'Reilly Factor. That's on television; that evens it out!''
Portman also took the opportunity to voice her support for the Democratic contender, adding, ``I love John Kerry! ''
