WURD said that the interview with President Biden was not up to its standards and that the host, Andrea Lawful-Sanders, had resigned in a mutual decision.
That doesn't make this right. If democrats are going to make a mockery of the democratic process to "save democracy", they're not actually saving democracy.
How? I'm not saying what the radio host covered in the article did was right...I just think the difference with how right-wing media operates is striking
Doesn't everyone who goes on a radio show give a set of questions? I mean, politicians are supposed to be able to answer more questions than celebrities, but it's still SOP.
No it’s not SOP. Sometimes the guest will ask for a list of questions beforehand, or ask to talk about some topics and not others. Either way, to present an interview as a “journalistic” interview with the President without disclosing that you were provided the questions to ask him feels less like journalism and more like propaganda
It is propaganda. Democrats have an amazing ability to ruin their chances at winning by picking the worst possible candidates and making the dumbest possible decisions while gaslighting everyone about it.
Sorry, but it does not seem weird at all that the office of the president have questions in advance, this is the president, not someone who is going to just walk into an unscripted interview, give me a break. Pretty thin attempt to go after Bidens mental acuity, no matter the reality
Except the white house sent the questions they wanted asked, looking for the interviewers approval.
and again, that's fairly standard practice. Either the interviewer sends a list of potential questions, or the interviewee sends the questions. It's normal. I guarantee you every presidential candidate whose done interviews since the advent of radio has done this.
Normal when you're making it clear to voters. People are trying to see if Biden is cognizant enough right now because of his historically bad debate performance and now we find out that they're sending questions to hosts beforehand and then bragging that it was unscripted.
Questions before hand doesn’t mean it’s scripted. It just means the “approved” questions are presented, more or less.
And again, this is entirely normal. You don’t go into an interview without having preparation, and that’s not a “script”.
No one- and I mean no one- important enough to be interviewed is going to not give a list of questions they want to answer; and questions they don’t want brought up.
(For example, Jon Stewart’s interviews. The interviewees go on there knowing they’re gonna get asked hard questions, that they’re prepared to answer, and then they get on with reconditioning their image.)
