    Doesn’t everyone who goes on a radio show give a set of questions? I mean, politicians are supposed to be able to answer more questions than celebrities, but it’s still SOP.

      No it’s not SOP. Sometimes the guest will ask for a list of questions beforehand, or ask to talk about some topics and not others. Either way, to present an interview as a “journalistic” interview with the President without disclosing that you were provided the questions to ask him feels less like journalism and more like propaganda

        It is propaganda. Democrats have an amazing ability to ruin their chances at winning by picking the worst possible candidates and making the dumbest possible decisions while gaslighting everyone about it.

          Picking the worst possible candidates apparently doesn’t matter.
