The interview went viral after Biden \u200breferred to himself as \u200bthe first \u2064black woman to serve with a black \u200dpresident. It was later revealed \u200bthat the\u2062 questions asked during the interview were provided \u200cby the White House, violating the\u2063 policies\u200b of the \u200cradio station, WURD-AM. The station decided to\u200c part ways with the host\u200c and emphasized its commitment to\u200b remaining an independent voice. Biden&#8217;s series \u200cof interviews with friendly\u200b sources, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-steps-up-post-debate-damage-control-as-dem-panic-grows-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Biden steps up post-debate damage control as Dem panic grows - Washington Examiner\">black radio stations<\/a>,\u2064 were meant to stabilize \u200chis standings \u200dwith\u200c voters, particularly in\u200c swing states. However,\u200d the interviews only served to showcase Biden&#8217;s consistent embarrassment and patronizing behavior towards the media.\u2063 The incident highlights the \u2063importance of the upcoming election in 2024, as expressed\u200c by former U.S. national security advisor\u200d Lt. Gen. \u200cMichael Flynn.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/cillianzeal\/%20\"><span>C.

As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWURD Radio remains an independent voice that our audience can trust will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-democrats-h-r-1-is-a-power-grab-would-undermine-states-election-rules\/\" title=\"Republicans: Democrats\u2019 H.R. 1 Is a Power Grab, Would Undermine States\u2019 Election Rules\">hold elected officials accountable<\/a>,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Pennsylvania\u2019s only independent Black-owned talk radio station, WURD Radio has cultivated that trust with our audience over our 20-year history. This is something we take very seriously. Agreeing to a pre-determined set of questions jeopardizes that trust and is not a practice that WURD Radio engages in or endorses as a matter of practice or official policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The station also noted that it had previously attended a White House event without agreeing to terms like this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier this year when WURD Radio was invited to the White House on February 26 to host a day-long live broadcast featuring interviews with cabinet secretaries and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-bidens-education-department-has-closer-ties-to-crt-group-than-they-admit\/\" title=\"REPORT: Biden\u2019s Education Department Has Closer Ties To CRT Group Than They Admit\">high-ranking officials<\/a>, we agreed with the explicit understanding that we were not constrained to their suggested topics or talking points,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were clear that our hosts would ask difficult and provocative questions of their own determination based on the needs and interests of WURD\u2019s listening audience \u2014 Black Philadelphians. This is a hallmark of WURD Radio\u2019s local, state and national coverage, day in and day out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The statement also noted that the \u201cexperience will strengthen WURD as we seek to grow from this incident. We will continue to be the unique platform that provides Black people a place where we can speak and be heard in our own voice \u2013 on our own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear, in the end, what will be the most damning for Biden: The president\u2019s gaffe, the acknowledgment that the gaffe came when he was answering what was, in essence, his own question, or that it came on a black-owned radio station that took such umbrage at the patronizing nature of the affair that it canned the host.<\/p>\n<p>The Lawful-Sanders interview was one of several Biden conducted in an effort to try to mitigate the disaster of his June 27 debate with former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Another was with Milwaukee radio host Earl Ingram \u2014 which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-radio-hosts-reveal-given-questions-biden-advance-no-negotiation-allowed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also featured questions<\/a> provided by the Biden campaign. Another was with ABC\u2019s George Stephanopoulos, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/interview-biden-admits-cant-even-remember-watched-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">featured its own problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even before the debate that occasioned these interviews, Biden was in deep trouble <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnn-data-analyst-cant-believe-latest-trump-biden-poll-numbers-like-speechless\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with black voters<\/a>, and he knew it. The old strategy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-tells-black-host-problem-figuring-whether-trump-aint-black\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saying stuff<\/a> like \u201cif you have a problem figuring out whether you\u2019re for me or Trump, then you ain\u2019t black\u201d wasn\u2019t going to cut it, particularly in swing states with large urban populations like Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>The interviews were meant to stabilize his standings with putatively friendly sources: Both black radio stations and Stephanopoulos, the former Clinton White House aide. They were also conducted over a long Independence Day weekend so that, if things didn\u2019t go well, they could be drowned out by the fireworks and the revelry. If they did go well, you could expect clips to be broadcast by every Biden campaign outlet, and Biden-friendly news outlet, all the way to November.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did Biden embarrass himself consistently, he did so with his own questions on black radio stations. The Stephanopoulos interview was hardly any better, with the president lobbed softballs which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/interview-disaster-biden-claims-put-nato-together-just-6-years-old-founded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he constantly whiffed on<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But what may sting the most is that, in the process of patronizing black media so cravenly that he got a host fired, Biden still managed to humiliate himself.
