Oddsmakers have increasingly presented the starter's likelihood of being sidelined as a matter of when rather than if, and recent revelations from softball appearances showed why. As the president's mental fortitude was no longer ignored by the corporate media, at least two radio hosts exposed how behind-the-scenes string-pullers had finally caught their candidate of their own design.

In addition to appearing on CNN, Wisconsin-based CivicMedia's Earl Ingram spoke with ABC News on Saturday and confirmed who, like Andrea Lawful-Sanders, a radio host based in Philadelphia, had been prepared for her interview with the president with questions from the Biden team.

“Yes, I was asked some questions for Biden,” said Ingram, who had asked four of the five selections provided to him. “I didn't get a chance to ask him all the things I wanted to ask.”

The questions the host asked included:

“Can you talk about some accomplishments that we may or may not be familiar with your record, especially here in Wisconsin?”

“What's at stake for black voters this election?”

“A lot of people have been told that their vote doesn't matter. What can you tell them?”

“Let's talk about the debate: you can address some of the concerns about your performance and [former President Donald] Trump's ridiculous comment about black jobs?

“To think that I would have the opportunity to ask the president of the United States any question, I think, is a little bit more than anyone should expect,” Ingram told ABC News, which had been the media outlet for the damages of Biden. control as he sat with George Stephanopoulos, achieving little in the way ease worries on the permanent candidacy of the holder.

Similarly, appearing alongside Ingram on CNN, Lawful-Sanders had told CNN's Victor Blackwell the previous Saturday, “The questions were sent to me for approval. I approved them.”

A statement from Biden campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt had tried to downplay the revelations, saying: “It is not at all an unusual practice for interviewees to share topics they would prefer. These questions were relevant to the news of the day: asked the president about this debate performance, as well as what he had delivered to black Americans.”

“We do not condition interviews on accepting these questions, and hosts are always free to ask questions they feel will best inform their listeners,” he continued. “In addition to these interviews, the president also participated in a press panel and an ABC interview yesterday. Americans have had several opportunities to see him unscripted since the debate.”

The “unscripted” interview with Lawful-Sanders was the same conversation where Biden stepped up to tout his record of racially biased hiring practices saying in part, “By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, the first black woman.. .to serve with a black president.”

Of course, despite Hitt's claims, Sherwin Hughes, another Wisconsin-based radio host, told ABC News that he had not been sent questions when given the opportunity to interview Biden before the debate.

Meanwhile, ABC's Jon Karl didn't help the diversions, which became one tease on social media on Saturday to appear to feign “outrage” over the alleged aid to Biden's image despite repeated instances throughout his administration where he had been prepared for pre-screened questions.
