Ex-ESPN Host Sage Steele Says Network Scripted Every Word of Her Interview With Biden
Fox News | 4/3/2024Former ESPN host Sage Steele revealed that her 2021 interview with President Biden was “scripted” by network executives.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Steele recalled the “structured” nature of the pre-taped interview, so much so that her ESPN bosses handed her a “script” to go off of.
“That was an interesting experience in its own right because it was so structured,” Steele said. “And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’”
…
“I think it’s really heartbreaking that the people who love Joe Biden and say they truly care about him have allowed it to get to this point,” Steele said. “So I’m not even looking at this from a political angle or my beliefs in anything. This is the human side of it. And when someone is struggling, we allow them to continue to be in the spotlight and put them out there in the first place when they knew there were issues? Of course, they had to know. So it’s a humanity thing with me where I don’t care where anyone stands and what they vote for or who they believe in. Do you really care about that person? As a father, as a husband, as an everything.” Steele previously detailed how Biden “trailed off” in their pre-interview chat before taping.
The man needs all the help he can get and then some.
Uhhh, I don’t think it was the Network doing the scripting. They just passed it on to the interviewer.
ESPN edited the part where Biden looked at his index card and said, “Who am I supposed to call on next?”
But how do they keep him on script?
