Ex-ESPN anchor Sage Steele revealed that an interview she conducted with President Joe Biden had been scripted “to the word” and that she was told not to deviate from her script at all during the segment.
The interview in question happened on March 31, 2021, approximately two months after the president began his term in the White House. In reflecting on her interview, Steele described it as “an interesting experience in its own right” because of how scripted it was.
“To the word, like, every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many executives, editors and executives,” Steele said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “Absolutely. I was on script and was told not to deviate. It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next.'”
Steele added that her interview with Biden had gone up to “the fourth floor,” referring to where ESPN’s president and top executives worked and made decisions.
ESPN declined to comment to the Washington Examiner.
The former ESPN anchor also said she thought it was “heartbreaking” for the president from a humanitarian perspective, questioning why the people who care for Biden would allow him to “get to this point.” The comment comes after a report from special counsel Robert Hur described Biden as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
Steele left ESPN in August so that she could “exercise my first amendment rights more freely.” Her departure follows being suspended by the network in October 2021 over comments she made regarding former President Barack Obama and the network’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Since leaving ESPN, Steele has launched The Sage Steele Show, which is the first podcast on comedian Bill Maher’s new podcast network. Maher said he launched the network to promote “authenticity from unfiltered celebrity voices.”
Latrine Juan-Peter didn’t want Jo Jo getting hit on the head with any unexpected rubber chickens during the interview.
Welcome to fake news
This occurred three years ago. Biden has only gotten worse.
This ‘emperor’ truly has no clothes.
which is why demented joe won’t debate, he is incapable and his staff knows it. Which makes him unfit to serve as President.
“Since leaving ESPN, Steele has launched The Sage Steele Show, “
And now she has ethics and will conduct herself professionally too. Swear to God!!!
I wonder if Biden read all of his answers as well.
Biden does not even know if it is day or night. Every word he says in front of anyone is scripted. No way they let him into a debate with Trump. He would be corn poppin dog face pony soldier marching all over the platform sniffin little girls in the front row then forget the original question was “is Hunter really the smartest guy you know?”
Then again ... maybe they would ... cause Trump would die laughing on stage.

Just great, these bastards are fine with propping up a dementia patient helping him keep the most important job on the planet. The wellbeing of millions is on the line but they want to do all they can to keep the dumpster fire burning. It’s sickening.
Unscripted news is hard to find it’s 90% agenda and keep them ignorant local news is the worst here in Los Angeles.
And the sun rises in the East.
