Jul 7, 2024, 08:01 PM

Philadelphia-based WURD Radio has parted ways with host Andrea Lawful-Sanders after it was revealed that she used pre-determined questions provided by President Joe Biden’s campaign during an interview. The incident occurred following Biden's first post-debate interview. WURD Radio, a Black-owned station, emphasized its commitment to remaining an independent media outlet accountable to its listeners, stating that the use of scripted questions violates their practices. The station also accused the Biden campaign of de-legitimizing Black voices, asserting that WURD Radio is not a mouthpiece for any administration. The station announced that the decision was mutually agreed and effective immediately.
