The outlet, which describes itself as Pennsylvania’s only African American-owned and operated radio station, also said the White House’s decision to supply questions to Lawful-Sanders prolonged a historical practice of marginalizing and “de-legitimizing Black voices” in US media.

“Lawful-Sanders was one of two battleground state radio hosts who aired an interview with Biden on 4 July and described being given questions by the president’s staff ahead of the conversation.”

    Yes. I don’t personally understand what the story is here. I’ve never heard of any high-profile politician going into an scheduled interview without a team providing a list of approved questions.

      The story is:

      The presidents aides called a radio station before an interview with the president to give them a list of questions.

      This is bad journalism.

      Imagine if Trump gave CNN a list of questions they could ask him on air. Would you watch that interview? Take it seriously?
