Sage Steele was a host for liberal-leaning network ESPN. She has claimed the network fired her for refusing to comply with its agenda—particularly when she questioned the Biden administration’s vaccine mandates.
Now, she is launching her own show—under Bill Maher’s new podcast network. The former MSM figure is revealing something shocking about her 2021 interview with Joe Biden.
The focus of the interview was about sports leagues returning to “normalcy” after the pandemic and state-mandated lockdowns. A chance to interview a president is a big deal for a host. Yet Steele claims her chance was marred, by an unbelievable decision made by ESPN.
From Fox News:
Former ESPN host Sage Steele revealed that her 2021 interview with President Biden was “scripted” by network executives…“And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’”…
“It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next.’ … This went up to the fourth floor, as we said, where all the bosses, the top executives, the decision makers are, the president of our company, the CEO, where they all worked.”
Sage Steele said that her 2021 interview with President Biden was scripted by her network, ESPN. The entire exchange was pre-written. She was told to follow “every word” that the network wrote out.
She was not even allowed to follow up what Biden said with questions of her own. Steele believed this came from the “top executives” of the company. Such an arrangement is unheard of, even in the liberal media. But it has become almost standard practice under the Biden administration.
It has become a running joke to see Joe Biden bring “cheat cards” to interviews. These cards contain large print that tells Biden what to say. In some cases, these cards direct him where to stand and when to leave.
Should we be surprised that an interview with Biden was so closely controlled? It is likely this script was either written or approved by Biden’s handlers. And they wrote out Joe’s responses to every question.
Steele was not allowed to ask follow-ups, because Biden’s handlers wouldn’t have written answers for those.
The only reason the White House has to do this is because Biden is unable to answer questions on his own. Is that even remotely acceptable for a man who is supposed in charge of the country?
For years, Democrats have denied any signs of Biden’s cognitive decline. But if networks are scripting every last word of his interviews… something is very wrong.
Key Takeaways:
- Sage Steele revealed ESPN scripted her entire interview with Joe Biden.
- She was ordered by the network to say “every word” and not deviate from the script.
- This comes after years of evidence showing Biden’s cognitive decline and the White House’s attempts at hiding it.
