Instead, the story was something else: That she sat down on camera "with Dan Rather." This non-news presented as news didn't happen in a vacuum. It was nearly eight years ago, when Russia was still part of a dying Soviet Union, that ABC's Diane Sawyer had her impromptu interview on the fly with embattled Russian Federation President Boris Yeltsin in the Moscow government building known as the "White House." Network news stars were jetting to Moscow in close formation to witness this turbulence during the last gurgling days of the sprawling Soviet realm.

The just-arrived Sawyer and her camera crew were the first outsiders to reach Yeltsin and his comrades, who were armed and barricaded in their makeshift fortress in anticipation of an attack by leaders of a coup against Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, who would ultimately resign. Sawyer's fleeting encounter with Yeltsin who appeared preoccupied and uninterested in schmoozinglasted just a few thin sound bites, their chat going something like this: How are you doing? Nice to see you. Have a nice day. Nonetheless, "PrimeTime Live" pumped in the helium, inflating it into a segment that ABC heavily bal-lyhooed Sawyer in Moscow Diane Sawyer is as if its star were MacArthur landing in the Philippines.

This was hardly the first time the TV messenger had become the message, so much of newscasting having risen, brick by brick, on a bedrock of celebrity journalism as a strategy to capture viewers' attention. Yet a line was crossed this time with a brazenness rarely displayed previously, the story becoming not what Yeltsin said for he hadn't said anything even close to being newsworthy but that Sawyer had been there, exclusively, when he didn't say it. Sawyer's brief time with Yeltsin was widely hailed as a great scoop, even though it amounted to a few weightless mumblings compared with his first substantive post-coup TV interview that was to come two weeks later on CNN. Clearly, this episode was the gateway to a decade in which TV news interviews of prominent figures were to be applauded merely when there was an interview, regardless of it yielding no news. It has happened again and again, the sight of a famous twosome celebrity journalist and celebrity subject merely moving their lips on camera considered payoff enough.

In other words, pay attention to the process the form not the content. That was surely the subliminal message of Rather's interview with Markovic. It was so empty that the Associated Press America's news agency of record began its brief story on the interview with a lead that could have been written without anyone seeing it: "The wife of Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic says there is no ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and Serbs are merely defending their territory." Like duh! That's what Milosevic and his supporters including his wife on an Italian TV talk show last month have been saying all along. And although Markovic is said to be her husband's close advisor and a political power in her own right, asking her whether Serbians were abusing Kosovo's ethnic Albanians was about like hoping to hear the truth about Hitler's campaign of genocide from his mistress, Eva Braun. Given their source, the answers were predictable.

Some partial questions from Rather, and boiled-down replies from Markovic as expressed through interpreters: "There are no atrocities committed by Serbs in Kosovo?" the CBS News anchor asked. "No," Markovic replied. "The Serbs are defending their territory." Not news, coming from her. "Many witnesses say that the Serbs are doing these things in Kosovo," Rather came back. "I don't believe Prime-Time TV Rankings 'Noah's Ark' Takes NBC to Higher Ground CBS Dan Rather interviewing Mirjana Markovic; she denied knowing of any atrocities by Serbs in Kosovo.

they did that, and I'm almost sure they didn't do it," she replied. Not news, coming from her. "How does this end?" Rather asked. "The decision is not in our hands, but in yours," Markovic said. Not news, coming from her.

"What about the argument, Madam professor, that the bombing will stop when you, the Serbs, stop killing Kosovar Albanians in Kosovo and stop running them out of their homes?" Rather asked. "But they are not killing them," she argued. "They are not expelling them." Not news, coming from her. She added later, "It is not happening, what you are saying." Not news, coming from her. Rather asked for her response to charges that her husband "is the new Hitler." She told Rather: "My husband doesn't hate any people.

He does not use violence." Not news, coming from her. "60 Minutes" gave no indication that the interview was censored by the Yugoslavs. Nor was there any mention of what was edited from the videotape because of time limitations, such choices being inevitable when presenting a TV story. You assume, though, that "60 Minutes" went with the best it had. Based on what did air, there were several replies from Markovic that cried out for follow-ups from Rather, a serious journalist who has been on the front lines of wars and numerous other big stories.

But they never came. When he asked her, for example, about the "many witnesses" charging Serbs with committing atrocities, her reply, remember, was "I don't believe they did that, and I'm almost sure they didn't do it." Almost sure? Did that mean she believed there was a possibility that atrocities occurred? That would have been news. Based on what "60 Minutes" showed, though, Rather never asked. Moreover, why didn't he ask her for details about those "witnesses," the scores and scores of refugees seen on TV, heard on radio and quoted in print charge ing Serbian forces and paramilitary units with murder and ethnic cleansing? Were they all actors? Were they all lying or fantasizing? If so, that would have been a story, too. One could argue that there was titillating value in just observing the powerful, forceful wife of someone widely accused of being a war criminal.

What does she look like? What does she sound like? In other words, the stuff of "Entertainment Tonight." And increasingly the stuff of serious TV news. NBC needed that divine intervention, since its Thursday roster looked surprisingly vulnerable last week, scoring the lowest rating for an all-original lineup that night in nearly five years dating back to the first season of "ER" and "Friends." The lowbrow competition included Fox's Robbie Knievel "Death Jump," which drew nearly 12 million viewers despite the jump itself being postponed by bad weather, and a two-hour wrestling event that pinned down decent ratings by UPN's standards. NBC's "Providence" exhibited minor slippage by turning in a lowest-yet rating Friday, as did "Millennium" and "Love Boat" that night. BRIAN LOWRY Despite a righteous flood of negative reviews, "Noah's Ark" sailed away with huge ratings Sunday, staking NBC to a strong early lead in the May sweeps, based on results issued Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. Starring Jon Voight, "Noah" ranks as the fifth-most-watched prime-time telecast this season, behind the Super Bowl, Academy Awards, Barbara Walters' Monica Lewinsky interview and George Clooney's final "ER." Tune-in the first night (which dropped about 20 on Monday, in results that will be published next week) was just shy of the audience for NBC's fantasy epic "Merlin" a year ago.
