MODERATORS
People who don't know that questions are preselected to some degree in like 80% of interviews, especially big names like presidents.
Source? I don't think Trumps ever been caught doing something like that
So much kerfuffle over such a non-scandal. Giving interviewers questions is S.O.P. for media people in a campaign. If Trump's people aren't doing it too, the only reason is because Trump never answers questions anyway.
It's not just radio interviews like this, it's late night talk shows too. Everyone knows the questions and answers before they go live.
This journalists problem is that she didn't have to actually USE the questions, she could have gone her own direction.
How it normally works is the presidents team says:
These are the topics we'd like to talk about.
And those are usually what gets asked about
This time the campaign team provided 8 questions. The host picked four and said she'd ask about those topics.
Then the campaign sent back that those four she had picked were the "approved" questions. So she felt pressured to ask them exactly as approved.
This was (I believe) the only Black owned radio station in the state, and Biden has attacked everyone that's went against him in the last week. The NY Times can survive that. Small time local news radio can not.
There's a lot of implicit pressure due to the power imbalance.
This account is less than a month old and has a ton of downvotes (100+). Even says that Trump always tells the truth even when he is on record saying the opposite. This is a bot.
Yep. Dude is a huge MAGA troll and now that we have an actual trumper here, note how his argument is nearly indistinguishable from that of the anti-Biden far lefters you see spamming their shit.
It’s uncanny!
No bot here. I just don't go along with the lefts narrative. That's the reason for the downvotes
Keep telling yourself that, buf
