This one's a classic. The Biden campaign was so worried about voter perception after his crash n burn debate, they sent Biden out on a series of interviews where they supplied the questions they wanted Biden to be asked. This was another attempt to lie to voters and create the illusion Biden can perform unscripted interviews.
Anyways, a talk host got fired for agreeing to do this.

Radio station parts ways with Biden interviewer for using questions sent in advance
“WURD Radio remains an independent voice that our audience can trust will hold elected officials accountable,” the station president said.
A talk radio station in Pennsylvania has parted ways with one of its hosts after she used questions provided by Joe Biden’s campaign during his first post-debate interview last week.
Sara M. Lomax, President and CEO of WURD Radio, announced Sunday that Biden’s interview with “The Source” host Andrea Lawful-Sanders was “arranged and negotiated independently … without knowledge, consultation or collaboration with WURD management.” Lawful-Sanders violated the station’s standards of journalistic independence and “mutually agreed” to part ways with the station, effective immediately, Lomax confirmed.
“WURD Radio remains an independent voice that our audience can trust will hold elected officials accountable,” Lomax wrote. “Agreeing to a pre-determined set of questions jeopardizes that trust and is not a practice that WURD Radio engages in or endorses as a matter of practice or official policy.”
Lawful-Sanders did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement to The Washington Post for an article published Saturday, Lawful-Sanders said that she “never felt pressured to ask certain questions.”
In a video posted to Facebook on Sunday, she said she was “no longer a host at WURD” and “tendered my resignation yesterday."
