US Presidential Election 2024: Radio station admits it scrubbed multiple Biden remarks from interview — at campaign’s request

A Milwaukee radio station admitted Thursday that it edited a taped interview with President Biden — at his campaign’s request — to remove references touting the number of “blacks” in his administration and incoherent commentary on the Central Park Five.

Civic Media, the radio network that broadcasted the 81-year-old president’s July 3 interview on “The Earl Ingram Show,” said the decision by the program to scrub the remarks prior to airing the interview on July 4, fell short of “journalistic interview standards.”

Yup, I doubt this is the only news outlet that did this at the behest of the campaign or the White House.

exactly what I expected. They were fed the questions to ask and then also edited the interviews to hide his dementia

This is like the woman last week who was fired for asking scripted questions.

They were OK with it, until she revealed it.

The complicity of the press is noted... They’ve been covering for Joe since day one.

And could you ever imagine Trump’s campaign calling an interviewer and asking them to edit out some of his answers? The press would have a meltdown. With Sleepy old Joe it’s just par for the course.

If I were a Democrat I would be pissed with all this coverup! When people go to vote in the primaries and find out afterwards that the person I voted for wasn’t mentally with it and it was being hidden from me by his administration I would be angry.

Kept it from their own voters as they weren’t going to get any gop support. Kept theirs in line. They do the same with blacks.

How about just one ethical “journalist” investigate each and every interview that FJB as done to find out how prevalent this is?

Can’t be that big of a job, FJB’s only done a handful of “interviews” . . .

And you have to go to an Australian news outlet to find out about this. The MSM Biden protection fortress holds.

Buckle up because here we go again 2020 redux. And now all of a sudden out of the blue the polls have flipped not even 24 hours towards FJB direction after the big boys poopy news conference. Which was orchestrated perfectly. Incredible. And now they’re saying that the project 2025 is hurting Trump with independent crowd …BS! And if it’s true this is what you call sabotage by our reps against Trump. I have not read it I don’t know what it is all I know it’s a list of some stuff. Evil never sleeps and we better get on the ball and replicate everything the dirty evil rats are doing. Because our DC swamp RINOS are not going to help us. That was evident from yesterday where the POS Republicans let us down in putting garland behind jail. That speaks volumes they do not want Trump in DC. The people might but the powerful demons behind running this nation do not. And they’re settled to take out Trump in 2024. They’re smarter for it now they’re not gonna get caught off guard ever again. Last night was just an example of how they’re going to resuscitate FJB’s dead corpse! They are putting every obstacle imaginable to stop Trump from winning Wisconsin, Michigan and the rest of the crucial states. And to make things worse illegals will be able to vote. Makes me sick to my stomach. If you think the the USA 2020 and the France election was rigged and stolen brazenly in front of the people we haven’t seen nothing yet! Evil never ever sleeps.

Sounds like an FCC license violation to me.

"The FCC has stated that “rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest.” The Commission will investigate a station for news distortion if it receives documented evidence of rigging or slanting, such as testimony or other documentation, from individuals with direct personal knowledge that a licensee or its management engaged in the intentional falsification of the news. Of particular concern would be evidence of the direction to employees from station management to falsify the news. However, absent such a compelling showing, the Commission will not intervene.
