Controversy Erupts Over Biden Campaign's Use of Pre-Approved Questions for Post-Debate Interviews with African American Hosts
Jul 6, 2024, 05:57 PM
A controversy has emerged involving President Joe Biden's campaign and the use of pre-approved questions for post-debate interviews with African American radio hosts. Reports indicate that the White House provided a list of eight questions to Andrea Lawful-Sanders, a radio host on WURD in Philadelphia, for her interview with President Biden. Lawful-Sanders confirmed receiving and approving the questions but stated she did not feel pressured to ask specific ones and chose questions important to black and brown communities. Critics argue this practice undermines journalistic integrity and transparency, drawing parallels to past controversies involving pre-leaked debate questions. The New York Times reported on this development, highlighting the ongoing debate over media ethics.
