The media has suddenly woken up after a nearly three-and-a-half year long coma to discover two things. First, they all suck at their jobs. Second, the Biden White House has been rigging the game at their expense.
Now, please do not feel sorry for these media morons. This is the bed they made for themselves. They just never believed that they would have to lie in it. After insisting for YEARS that all was well with Joe Biden, and blithely ignoring those trying to point out that the emperor had no clothes on, they suddenly woke up after the debate on June 27th to discover that they, too, were pantsless. And because the media had wasted what credibility they might have had circling wagons around the old man, some of those “journalists” decided to start reporting what they had been seeing and hearing for a long time.
And now the media is shocked, SHOCKED, to learn that the Biden White House has ACKSHUALLY been giving the media pre-scripted questions to ask the old man. ALLLLL the pearls are being clutched.
WURD radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders and Civic Media host Earl Ingram spoke with anchor Victor Blackwell on Saturday’s First of All on CNN about their respective interviews of President Biden, which both took place after the disastrous debate and prior to Friday’s sit-down interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos that aired Friday.
On Saturday, Blackwell first noted to Lawful-Sanders that both she and Ingram asked the same basic questions and asked whether “those questions given to you by the White House, or did you have or the campaign, or did you have to submit questions ahead of this interview?”
“The questions were sent to me for approval. I approved of them,” Lawful-Sanders answered.
“Okay. So the White House sent the questions to you ahead of the interview?” Blackwell prompted.
“Yes,” Lawful-Sanders confirmed again. She then made clear that a set of pre-written questions were given to her by the White House, and she chose from among those, sending them back to the White House so they would know which of the pre-written questions he would be asked during the interview.
The CNN anchor then pointed out he was not criticizing the radio hosts, but instead he was asking because, “if the White House is trying now to prove the vim, vigor, acuity of the president, I don’t know how they do that by sending questions first before the interview so that the president knows what’s coming.”
The media is acting like they didn’t know that this was happening. THEY ARE LYING. First of all, does this look familiar?
This seems more relevant now I guess.
Remember when it wasn't a media scandal that Biden was answering presubmitted questions during press conferences from journalists that he knew were coming.

Second, Sage Steele (formerly of ESPN) came out and SAID that her entire 2021 interview with Joe Biden had been scripted this last April, after talking about how “sad” it was in October 2023. She got yelled at by her former colleague Keith Olbermann, who said that SHE was the “dumbest person” he had ever worked with, so of course the interview had to be scripted so SHE wouldn’t screw it up. The media sat quietly, because Sage Steele had refused to toe the liberal line on COVID-19, and was therefore Not Trusted™.
But after the debate, after the Olivia Nuzzi story about Biden getting progressively worse, after elected Democrats are starting to make noise, after donors are closing their wallets, NOW, NOW, the truth can finally be told! The media is HORRIFIED, and THEY WILL FIND OUT WHO DID THIS.
Just pour one out tonight for the media, which is suddenly having to cover all these stories about Joe Biden that nobody had noticed until last Thursday.

The truth, of course, is that the media has been cooking the books for Joe Biden and against Donald Trump for years now. Ever since the “Russian disinformation” story was swallowed wholesale by the media when it came to Hunter Biden’s laptop, the media have actively run interference for the entire Biden administration because they just hated Donald Trump THAT MUCH, and in their own words, they didn’t want to be seen as “helping” Trump.

Nope, too late. You own this, media. You were willfully blind and willingly deaf and woefully dumb, and now you have had the rug pulled out from under you in front of EVERYONE. And NOW you want to claim that the Biden White House was just soooo masterful at hiding the old man’s decline, that you were convinced it was “just a stutter,” or that of COURSE the Republicans were “pouncing” and we can’t have that! Too damn bad for you. If you got played, it’s because you WANTED to be played. And if you weren’t played, and you knew what was happening, and you stayed quiet, then you are political hacks and propagandists, not “journalists.”
Enjoy the dish of crow that you are now being served. I hope it tastes bitter. You earned every bite of it, and more.

Best article of the day from any source! I don’t watch cable news anymore because it is all Pravda-esque style BS. Now it appears even the sheeples of the Left see what tripe the media has been peddling all these years.
Fortunately the next class of J-school graduates will be MUCH better. Much better propagandists.
A real journalist— after all, your bio here says you’re a former freelance journalist— would know that it’s common to have questions approved beforehand when you’re interviewing a public figure. That’s nothing new and this story is a nothing burger. I would expect no less from someone who thinks Twitchy counts as research for stories.
“it’s common to have questions approved beforehand when you’re interviewing a public figure.”
Prove it, child. I dare you. Especially because you know that if Trump had done that, it would be the end of the world as we know it.
You remind me a lot of Kevin. You come here to get your humiliation fetish satisfied. Maybe you two should hook up?
Funny thing is that I went to high school with someone who was a journalist for a while. He was in a press conference with Scott Walker. The only scripted part was that Governor Walker had a list of reporters’ names and no questions were provided to anyone ahead of time.
So we know you’re making shit up. It’s adorable. Especially because we know you won’t back up anything you say. But make sure dad pats you on the head and calls you a good boy for speaking truth to power or something.
