Fox News host Sean Hannity questions President Biden's recent interview with Howard Stern, highlighting the involvement of Hillary Clinton's team in arranging the appearance.
In a surprising turn of events, Hillary Clinton's team is credited with encouraging President Biden to appear on "The Howard Stern Show." The revelation was made by the show's executive producer, Gary Dell'Abate, who disclosed that Clinton's team played a pivotal role in making the interview happen.
The unexpected appearance of Biden on Stern's long-running talk show sparked a flurry of reactions, with Fox News host Sean Hannity expressing concerns about the interview's lack of substance. However, Stern's producer attributed the success of the interview to Clinton's involvement, citing her understanding of the potential impact on Biden's public image.
Clinton's involvement in arranging the interview stems from her own unsuccessful attempt to appear on Stern's show during her 2016 presidential campaign. Stern, a vocal Clinton supporter, believed an appearance on his show could enhance her connection with voters, but she declined the opportunity.
Despite Clinton's previous reluctance, her team recognized the potential benefits of a Biden appearance on Stern's show, especially during an election year. According to Dell'Abate, Clinton's team actively promoted the idea to Biden's team, emphasizing the show's ability to reach a specific audience that other platforms might not.
The friendly interview between Biden and Stern, which covered a range of topics including football, family life, and Biden's political career, received mixed reactions from critics. Some praised the interview for its candid nature, while others questioned its journalistic integrity, especially considering Biden's recent criticism for avoiding more serious interviews with mainstream media outlets.
The New York Times, in particular, published a scathing editorial condemning Biden's infrequent one-on-one interviews with reputable news organizations. The editorial accused Biden of shirking his responsibility to engage with the press and provide accountability to the public.
Despite the criticism, Biden defended his interview with Stern, claiming that he was speaking to a large audience that other platforms may not reach. The White House declined to comment on the matter, while a Clinton representative did not respond to inquiries.
The revelation of Clinton's team's involvement in arranging Biden's Howard Stern appearance raises questions about the influence of political figures on media access and the extent to which candidates are willing to engage with different platforms to reach specific audiences.
