Wow.

******************

“While interview hosts have always been free to ask whatever questions they please, moving forward we will refrain from offering suggested questions,” a source familiar with Biden’s booking operation for media outlets told the outlet.

Radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who interviewed President Biden on Wednesday, revealed during a discussion on CNN that the president's team provided a list of questions to approve prior to the interview. 
"The questions were sent to me for approval. I approved them," Sanders said. CNN host Victor Blackwell noted the questions during both appearances were about his accomplishments, debate performance, progress in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, what's at stake in the election, and what he would say to voters who are considering not voting in the presidential election. 
Blackwell followed up, "So the White House sent the questions to you ahead of the interview?"


"Yes, I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved," Sanders continued.

I don't think this practice is unusual or even problematic.  The publicity from it is bad, it wouldn't be bad if Biden were "normal".

It happens often.  In this case, it looks bad.

So, you are OK with this?

Do you really think the DJT campaign does this, and do you really think the media would oblige if so?

happens with interviews with many folks
perhaps not always scripted per say, but even coaches will politely refuse to speak about some subjects

I assume even Donald has had interviews and/or press conferences where he's given the reporters some guidance on what questions should be asked and what won't be allowed.

I'm OK with this, I think it happens often, and don't see a problem with it.

It looks bad in this case.

Do you really think the DJT campaign does this, and do you really think the media would oblige if so?
My guess would be that this happens all the time. In an interview, the interviewee probably has certain topics that they affirmatively want to have covered. While that doesn't make up an entire interview, it makes sure that the interviewer gets to ask the questions they want to ask, but that the interviewee also gets to talk about the topics that they want aired. 

And yes, I would think the Trump campaign does this. Do you really think Hannity and the other FNC folks wouldn't oblige this for Trump? Frankly, if Trump was going into "hostile territory", don't you think one of the conditions of the interview might be that a certain portion of the questions were things he wanted to be asked, and the interviewer would oblige in order to secure the interview? 

I think this is how the sausage is made.

Like CD says, this looks bad because Biden already looks bad. If Trump or Obama did it, it might look like vanity. If Biden does it, it looks like he doesn't have the competency or quickness to answer any question he hasn't prepared for.

A candidate's advisers in most cases can pretty well predict which questions will be asked by certain interviewers anyway.  Giving a list of OPTIONAL questions to be asked is a pretty standard practice.  So long as it's not predicated on getting the interview in the first place, and the interviewer is free to ask anything they want, it's fine with me.

Whether Trump does this or not doesn't matter to me, at all.

It matters to me.

A President needs to be able to think on his own, 24/7/365.

Putin or Xi aren't gonna telegraph their plans to the President.

So, this interviewer got 8 proposed questions, used 4 of them (which she might have asked anyway), and also asked probably ten more questions of her own choosing?

Where's the problem?
