ABC News' Chief WH Correspondent Seems Surprised Biden Staff Gave Radio Host Questions to Ask Biden

As we told you earlier, a Philadelphia radio host was being interviewed on CNN about her chat with President Biden this week and said something that might not surprise you on two separate levels: A) The White House sent her eight questions to choose from, and B) She agreed to it and chose four of those scripted questions to ask Biden.

Here's that video:

And to that "say what" we respond with an even louder "say what?"

This has been going on for years. Remember all of the notecards telling Biden which reporters to call on?

Don’t pretend to be shocked. You knew they were doing this.

It's nothing short of hilarious how many journo types are pretending all this -- from Biden's cognitive issues to WH staff working hand-in-hand with reporters -- is just now a new thing.
