Others simply don't understand the mix-up. The only resemblance is that of them having the same profession.

Not people thinking Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters are the same person. If you didn’t know that they are two different people, you’re too young to be up this late. Go to bed. pic.twitter.com/MPoCzOcue8

The two women are equally as important in their reporting. But many of the tweets mixing the two up are definitely from younger social media users.

Sawyer and Walters both had an impressive resume. But they are very much two different people.

While Walters' interviews with celebrities were iconic, Sawyer's wasn't too far behind, especially her 2002 interview with Whitney Houston, who hadn't sat and spoke with the medis for some time. To promote her album Just Whitney, the singer sat with Sawyer to clear up rumors of drug addiction and a troubled marriage. But Houston wouldn't back down. Many remember the clip, and one had to be reminded it was Sawyer who conducted the interview and not Walters.
