The Washington Post‘s Howie Kurtz writes about ABC News’ White House correspondent Martha Raddatz who is on the road again. “I’d probably go crazy if I had to stay every second at the White House and not go out and be a reporter,” she told Kurtz by phone from Pakistan. “I don’t want to be a stenographer.” She tells Kurtz President Bush “knows when I push him on Iraq or Pakistan that there’s a depth of knowledge there and personal experience.”
World News anchor Charlie Gibson describes Raddatz as “just gritty, without sacrificing any femininity — more comfortable in fatigues than in mufti.” “She really is a wonderful hybrid correspondent,” Gibson says.
