GraceRandolph Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 WURD radio station and host Andrea Lawful-Sanders have "mutually agreed" to immediately "part ways" after President Biden's aides helped draft questions she asked him in an interview, the company announced Sunday. Why it matters: The Philadelphia talk radio station noted in a statement that the July 3 interview was Biden's first since his lackluster June 27 presidential debate — which the president and aides blamed on a cold and jet lag, but which has resulted in some Democrats calling for him to end his 2024 candidacy. It's the latest instance of Biden's aides shielding the 81-year-old from unscripted moments, per Axios' Alex Thompson, who notes that the White House's director of Black media was not part of the process with WURD — the only African American owned and operated talk radio station in Pennsylvania.

SoldierofLove Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 "The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners," Lomax said. Earl Ingram, who interviewed Biden the day after for his show on a Black radio station in Milwaukee that broadcasts across Wisconsin, told ABC News Saturday that he was also "given some questions for Biden" and "didn't get a chance to ask him all the things I wanted to ask." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but this is Biden. Everyone already thinks he's in cognitive decline. Every bit of information that gets spun to make him sound like all of his interviews are rehearsed is not going to help. This gives the impression that he can't think on the spot and needs to be fed answers. Not a good look. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't want Trump to win, which is why I am advocating for Biden to allow an open convention to field a strong candidate.

Taylena Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Who can forget Donna Brazile handing Hillary the debate questions back in 2016? Do you believe Biden didn't have prior access to the questions in that CNN debate? Democrats always seem to be cheating in some way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byzantium Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Democrats need to learn that you can't gaslight people into ignoring what they clearly see as signs of aging. You also cannot guilt trip people into voting for Biden after is continued support of Genocide. Without gaslighting or guilt tripping, the party does not have an effective strategy for winning. We as a country deserve a better candidate and party. Edited July 8 by byzantium 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you literally have conservative liberals from places like the Netherlands, Malaysia, Australia, etc. literally arguing that random American gays on a pop forum criticizing Biden for being an awful candidate will usher in Trump's win, so I imagine ATRL must be a hot spot of importance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We as a country deserve a better candidate and party. Yes, you can. The USA has a two-party system, so not voting for one is helping the other. That is how it works no matter how you try to deny it in an attempt to retain your moral superiority. We can make it known we do deserve better while also understanding the cards we've been dealt and working with what we have. Unless Biden decides to step down, he is going to be the nominee and you can choose to help him win and save millions or not and help cause the following: Increasing the onslaught of death and destruction in Palestine; most likely with the use of nuclear weapons. Rounding up millions of immigrants (both documented and undocumented) and placing them in detention camps. Forcing transgender people in red states to detransition. Forcing impregnated rape victims in red states to give birth to their rapist's baby. Forcing pregnant people in red states whose health is at risk if they give birth to give birth. Outlawing black history being taught in schools in red states. Outlawing public displays of queerness, e.g., drag shows in red states. Nominating two additional right-wing extremists to SCOTUS. Consolidating power around the President via installing loyalists in every governmental agency. Continued deregulations that will allow corporations to set forth their own regulatory practices, i.e., none that will curb their profits. You cannot in good faith claim to not support genocide while actively threatening to help a candidate win who has promised to enact genocides on virtually every single vulnerable population in the USA. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you in every thread kicking, screaming, crying, throwing up, acting like everyone is promoting some double standard of criticizing Biden but not Trump? 90% of the people posting topics like this and replying to them are not Trump supporters. We already know all of this about Trump. Many people are criticizing Biden BECAUSE we don't want Trump to win. And because we have some ethics and morals, and want to hold our elected officials to some basic ******* standards, not excuse their stupidity like Republicans do for Trump. We refuse to stick ours heads in the sand: it is clear that Biden is going to suffer a historic loss, and his team/campaign knows it, which is why they are scrambling and doing unethical things like trying to script an interview. When Trump wins in November, anyone with half a brain will understand it's because Biden didn't know when to step down for the good of this country. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClashAndBurn Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 8 minutes ago, Sannie said: We can make it known we do deserve better while also understanding the cards we've been dealt and working with what we have. Lol, literally by voting for Biden, you surrender to the notion that "better things are not possible." The Democrats' motto, at this point. What's rich is that you think Trump will be "worse" for Palestinians than Biden when after his re-election, Biden won't have to care about faking humanitarian concerns for votes anymore. He's already literally given Benjamin Netanyahu EVERYTHING he's wanted so far. He's made a big show of holding up ONE SHIPMENT of 2000-pound bombs that aren't even appropriate for urban warfare, but has sent him every other shipment of the exact same weapon. It's literally theater, just to lie to voters and the media and act like a genocide isn't happening when an estimated 186,000 people have been killed by Israel with America's unequivocal support already. "Trump will let the Israelis use nukes" isn't a valid argument when Biden could do exactly the same in Term 2, and there will be NO pushing him left on that issue or any other when the time arrives. Besides which, Israel won't nuke Gaza because they want to develop it into a beach front property once the land has been fully ethnically cleansed. The nuclear fallout would not only get in the way of that, but would get carried by the wind into Israeli territories as well. Everything else? Uncompelling. If the Democrats go forward with nominating the most evil president they've ever put forth (in addition to the most infirm), then frankly they deserve nothing less than the pain and suffering that a Trump second term would bring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
