ED MORRISSEY: NYT exposes Biden radio interviews as “cheap fakes.” “Two weeks ago, the NYT was gaslighting its readers by amplifying the ‘cheap fakes’ propaganda from the White House. Now they’re essentially claiming that the White House is setting up cheap-fake interviews for Biden in an attempt to keep the cover-up over his senility in place.”
UPDATE (From Ed): Philly Radio Station ‘Parts Ways’ With Anchor Who Told CNN About Biden White House Interview Questions.
As Ed M. noted at the first link, “Book authors have interviews arranged by publishers and/or PR firms, and books get shipped to hosts ahead of the interview:”
That package comes with a publicity kit that almost always includes several questions the author is prepared to answer. For the most part I avoid those, but they can be helpful for conversation focus if there’s no time to read the book ahead of the interview. Authors are also largely focused on their own book and little else unless they are prolifically published. To a certain extent, the same is true for experts on various topics where the host has much less expertise.
It sounds very much like Philadelphia AM radio station WURD fired radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders more for letting the cat out of the bag than for accepting questions from the Biden White House in the first place, or that the radio station was pressured by the White House to take action:
This is the Biden regime once again sending a warning to anyone who embarrasses them

In any case, not a good look by the station.
