Staff Reports
The Biden team just can’t seem to get it together when it comes to managing Joe Biden’s cognitive issues. Following interviews with black radio hosts in Wisconsin and Philadelphia, where Biden made some perplexing statements, things went further off the rails. Philly host Andrea Lawful-Sanders revealed that she received eight questions from Biden’s team, approving four of them. Similarly, Wisconsin host Earl Ingram confirmed receiving pre-set questions. This blatant prepping didn’t do Biden any favors, as even with the questions in advance, he still managed to make some eyebrow-raising remarks.
The White House denied any involvement and tried to shift the blame to the campaign. However, the damage was done. The radio station where Lawful-Sanders works, WURD, decided to part ways with her over the incident, emphasizing their commitment to being an independent media outlet that holds elected officials accountable. They made it clear that they do not endorse or engage in the practice of pre-determined questions, highlighting the importance of maintaining trust with their audience.

The station’s statement directly called out the Biden team for delegitimizing Black voices and asserted their independence from any administration’s influence. It’s evident that this scandal has not only cost a radio host her job but also raised serious concerns about media integrity and trust. The critique towards mainstream media for losing the trust of many Americans, especially Black Americans, further underscores the repercussions of this incident.
In the end, this debacle seems to have backfired on Biden, potentially damaging his support among the black community. It’s a reminder that attempts to manipulate information and control narratives often lead to consequences that can’t be easily swept under the rug.
