The campaign of President Joe Biden asked for and received two edits to an interview he gave a Milwaukee radio station on the heels of his disastrous debate in late June against former President Donald Trump, the station said Thursday.
The disclosure by Civic Media of the edits comes days after its host for the Biden interview, and another Black radio host in Philadelphia, revealed that the Biden campaign fed them questions in advance to ask the president.
Civic Media said that right after Ingram taped the interview with Biden on July 3, the campaign called and requested the edits.
"With a high-profile interview comes a listener expectation that journalistic interview standards will be applied, even for non-news programming," Civic Media said.
Civic Media's disclosure comes five days after Ingram said Biden aides "gave me the exact questions to ask" Biden in the interview.
