WH provides radio interviewers selected questions? Little edge for the dementia plagued Joe Biden?
The questions asked of President Biden by two radio interviewers this week were provided in advance to the hosts by Mr. Bidenās aides at the White House, one of the hosts said Saturday morning on CNN.
Andrea Lawful-Sanders, the host of āThe Sourceā on WURD in Philadelphia, said White House officials provided her with a list of eight questions ahead of the interview on Wednesday.
āThe questions were sent to me for approval; I approved of them,ā she told Victor Blackwell, the host of āFirst of Allā on CNN. Asked if it was the White House that sent the questions to her in advance, she said it was.
āI got several questions ā eight of them,ā she said. āAnd the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved.ā

āHosts are always free to ask the questions they think will best inform their listeners,ā she said. āIn addition to these interviews, the president also participated in a press gaggle yesterday as well as an interview with ABC. Americans have had several opportunities to see him unscripted since the debate.ā
Ask Matt Lauer how that worked after his Hillary interview...............
Mr. Bidenās campaign had scheduled interviews with the hosts of two radio programs with large Black followings as part of a broader effort to reassure Americans of his mental fitness after his disastrous debate performance in Atlanta that raised deep concerns among many Democrats.
What? No chicken dinner?



No one in the presidentās re-election campaign or at the White House revealed ahead of time that the questions were provided to the Black hosts, a practice that is widely rejected as inappropriate by journalists, especially in coverage of a politician. And yet, despite knowing the questions in advance, Mr. Biden still stumbled over some of them.
In the interview with Ms. Lawful-Sanders, Mr. Biden stumbled over his words, at one point saying that he was proud to have been āthe first Black woman to serve with a Black president.ā
