Nope! I repeat, I highly doubt that ABC News, or any other network news division, would agree to any such preconditions.
What is newsworthy about a musician doing some drugs? And at that, Adam’s drug use appears to be really occassions — mushrooms once and X years ago in Europe, and smoking some pot? Even Rush L. was adicted to an opiate, chemically related to heroin.
I don’t recall David Cook ever being interviewed on a news show. So I can’t see the parallel with the David Cook-Kim story.
You might be about to put some limits on an entertainment interview, but almost never with a network news magazine like 20/20 or 60 minutes. Or even John Stewart or Steven Colbert. Usually, the limits on the news shows are related to what is liable and slander, and personal lives of famous peoples children. And I would bet real money that 20/20 was able to discuss anything from the RS article.
This looks to me like it was 20/20 editorial decision — they typically only have one big idea for a story. And the big Adam story was he’s gay and open about it, and the hook was the interview with his Mom. And to put a ribbon on the whole package, the ended on the “bi-curious” line. All in all, a very nice, linear human interest story.
Noctem Seizure is quite vociferous in pretty much demanding that an investigation into Lambert’s drug use proceed immediately. Since Lambert appears to be unusually truthful and, being very intelligent, would avoid anything to hurt his career, it seems unlikely that he’s doing any hard drugs now. I find this in context of what goes on in the world today, simply irrelevant. If one is interested in relevancy, however, how about looking at the White House and President Obama who is in thrall to the most addictive, dangerous, and deadly drug of all – nicotine. And, apparently, he’s still addicted. That’s OK, I guess, because (for the moment, at least) its not illegal.
Let’s not forget Mr. Obama’s confessed prior use of pot, alcohol and cocaine. No apology on record for that, no one has asked if if he still partakes of any of the three even on an occasional use.
I just never got the impression that Adam’s use of drugs was more than experimental/casual. I do understand that many lives are ruined by drug addiction, but I don’t see what this has to do with Adam or why he has to make some kind of statement.
I’m pretty sure Adam is the topic here, not me. If you wish to address my statements, reply to me directly. Don’t refer to me in the third person.
The Adam/ Obama drug use comparison has been touched on many times in comments in various threads since the RS article snippets leaked. And as far as I am aware, the president quite clearly has repudiated his former usage.

That’s a good thing. But I’d like him to repudiate his smoking habit since I could barely breathe from parents smoking when I was a little kid. Smoking affects other people. I used to have to lay on the floor and just wheeze from the toxic fumes.
In the Rolling Stone article he says that, “he’d rather chill out and smoke a bowl” (than snort coke). But, I suppose you’re right– perhaps he was referring to a tobacco bowl….
pot is practically legal in some states. I don’t smoke it but it’s no worse than alcohol. Drugs are not good but neither are alcohol, cigarettes, red meat, high fat foods, candy, lots of things aren’t good for us and carry risks. Driving a car carries a risk. Life is full of risks and temptations. Few of us are saints or perfect, as far as I know.
