Frustration mounts among journalists as details emerge regarding the Biden campaign’s request for edits on an interview conducted by Civic Media, a progressive talk-radio network. The interview, conducted by host Earl Ingram, took place following Biden’s June debate with Trump, where concerns were raised about the former president’s coherence.
Civic Media admitted to making two edits to the interview at the campaign’s request, a move that they acknowledge does not meet journalistic standards. The cuts involved remarks made by Biden about his administration’s racial diversity and Trump’s past support for the death penalty. The station has since pledged to release the unedited version of the interview.

Critics argue that the decision to edit the interview raises questions about transparency and the media’s role in shaping public perception of political candidates. With Biden facing an upcoming unscripted news conference, all eyes will be on his performance as he navigates unfiltered questions.
Observers will be scrutinizing Biden’s responses for any signs of hesitation or cognitive lapses, which could either bolster his reelection prospects or strengthen calls for his withdrawal from the race. The scrutiny surrounding Biden’s mental acuity underscores the high stakes of the upcoming event and its potential impact on the election narrative.
