      People who don’t know that questions are preselected to some degree in like 80% of interviews, especially big names like presidents.

        That’s not supposed to be the case. If Trump tried something like that, we’d never hear the end of it. The press is supposed to ask hard questions to politicians, especially the President. There should never be special treatment.

          Trump did it all of the time too, because it’s normal for interviews, not even just presidential ones.

            I’ve worked in radio and TV and yeah, even the guy running for city council will have their campaign manager and/or media manager come in and say, “we want to make sure you ask Dave about the council’s plan to raise sewage prices.”

              Where’s the proof of Trump doing it? If it’s so common, why haven’t the Dems showed Trump doing the same?

                I’ll show you that proof when you show me the proof of this claim of yours:

                Trumps always answered questions from the media. Biden rarely does and when he does it’s usually just a yes or no answer he gives unless it’s a pre-selected question of course. Then he just reads the answer off of his Q cards.

                Good luck since I already showed you how wrong you were with that first part.
