Is Joe Biden cheating?
That is the question that everyone wants to know thanks to some handy photography work this week.
Joe Biden was caught with a crib sheet at the podium, so now everyone, again, wants to know if certain media outlets are feeding Joe Biden the questions before he steps up to the podium.
Rigged
The photo that was taken had the reporters name, question, photo, and denoted that the reporter would have the first question.
This created a bit of outrage by some media members, wondering if the fix was in for reporters who were willing to sell out and give Biden their questions beforehand.
Karine Jean-Pierre pushed back, stating, “It is entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters who will be asking questions at a press conference and issues that we expect they might ask about.
“It is not surprising that yesterday we would anticipate questions that he did receive — right? — on the visit with the South Korean president [Wednesday].
“We do not have specific questions in advance, that’s not something that we do.”
White House journalist Jon Decker of Gray Television then fired back, “Is it your contention, Karine, that the question that was on the so-called cheat sheet was not similar to the question that was asked?
“It’s a very reasonable question.”
KJP shut him down and told him to wait his turn, and he obliged, only she never called him to answer the question.
President George W. Bush’s first press secretary Ari Fleischer called out the White House and the LA Times, stating, “The LA Times needs to investigate this.
“No WH reporter would ever tell me what question they intended to ask POTUS.
“It would be unethical – not to mention soft – to do so. The Times and this reporter have explaining to do.”
Despicable… Like I have said many times, we have state-run media in this country now.
