The press has made sure to coddle Joe Biden ever since he decided to run for president in 2020. But now they’re being called out for it in a major way.
As this journalist reveals the truth about the media’s plan to protect President Biden.
Republicans have had enough of the way President Joe Biden is treated by the mainstream media.
He’s constantly been given a pass for the numerous gaffes he makes, as well as his horrid policy decisions that are hurting America.
But now a journalist is coming out to expose the media for their tactics to try and protect the president as much as possible.
Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele recently went on Fox News to recount how she participated in an interview with Joe Biden back in 2021.
She recalled how her bosses at ESPN made her follow “every word” of the scripted questions she was to give to Biden.
Steele as also told “not to deviate” from the questions as well. According to reports from Fox News, the purpose of the interview was to talk about sports returning in the wake of COVID lockdowns and how athletes and fans should consider getting vaccinated against COVID.
During the interview, Biden scolded Americans for not being vaccinated and told them to “follow the science.”
“That was an interesting experience in its own right because it was so structured,” said Steele, who ended up leaving ESPN after coming out against their COVID vaccine mandate in 2021.
“And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’ Every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives. Absolutely. I was on script and was told not to deviate,” Steele continued.
“It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next.’ … This went up to the fourth floor, as we said, where all the bosses, the top executives, the decision makers are, the president of our company, the CEO, where they all worked.”
Steele also wondered, but wasn’t entirely sure, if ESPN sent the scripted questions to the White House before her interview with Biden.
She also noted how his mental fitness was on the decline during that 2021 interview. She described the encounter with him as “heartbreaking.”
When speaking with Democrat commentator Bill Maher last year, Steele recalled the interview with Biden and how he seemed very confused before the cameras began recording.
“I had to chitchat waiting for us to start rolling. Of course, he has someone next to him, and they keep a black, like, curtain over the lens of the camera, so you can’t see him until the last second, but you can hear, and we’re chitchatting… So I can hear him, and he goes, ‘What is this for?’ … And he’s, like, ‘Who am I talking to? Wait – what’s her name?'” Steele told Maher.
It sounds like Biden, who was 78 years old at the time, could barely get a grasp of why he was there to interview with Steele and ESPN.
Imagine if she decided to go rogue and ask him a question that was not on the script.
That would’ve likely ended in disaster for President Biden who rarely engages in press conferences or interviews that don’t offer him some kind of cheat sheet of questions he’s going to be asked.
It’s about time the mainstream media stops coddling this president.
If he can’t simply participate in challenging interviews then how can we expect him to take on the many rigorous duties that come with being Commander-in-Chief?
