Images of the note card the president used to respond to a reporter’s query were included.
A snapshot of the president’s cheat sheet revealed a basic description of a question given by a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, but the daily denies sending questions to the White House in advance of Wednesday’s press conference.
“Our reporter did not send any questions ahead of time for the Q&A with President Biden,” Los Angeles Times VP of marketing Hillary Manning said to Fox News Digital. Courtney Subramanian covers the White House for the Los Angeles Times. As a result, she frequently contacts the White House press office for comment. Whoever produced the paper for the president and why they included the question is a mystery you’ll have to solve by contacting the White House.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment but has not yet received a response.
The Los Angeles Times said Thursday that it did not give any questions to the White House in advance, according to radio comments made by CNN White House correspondent Arlette Saenz and “CNN This Morning” presenter Kaitlan Collins.
The President often receives training materials like these from the White House. The level of specificity, however, is now being given the most attention. You mentioned that the note card had the name of a reporter, a photo of that person, and a potential query. It’s worth noting that her inquiry differed slightly from what was typed on the notecard. Her journalistic organization, she was told, did not submit any questions to the White House in advance of the press conference. Saenz informed Collins that they’d witnessed the president using note cards to keep track of who he was talking to, where he was going, and what had happened.
The occasion was “jumped on” by Republicans, Saenz added, “to draw attention to President Biden’s age.”
Since the president has made “historically few” news conferences, Collins’s claim that there was a press meeting at the White House yesterday is noteworthy.
As CNN’s John Avalon pointed out during a panel on “CNN This Morning” regarding reporters’ inquiries about Joe Biden’s age, the president’s response to a query about his age during a press conference was not particularly “artful.”
And it doesn’t help that he’s been caught using cheat papers at interviews and other important events. He has served as a significant monarch. Avalon said, “This should give you pause.”
At yesterday’s press conference, he was prepared with a card indicating that he would be asked a question by a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. According to the Los Angeles Times, the author did not pre-submit the piece to the White House for review. Collins remarked that the White House preparing briefing materials for the president was not out of the ordinary.
During Wednesday’s meeting between Vice President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in the White House Rose Garden, cameras recorded the latter reading from a little cheat sheet, revealing that he had already prepared a response to a question from Courtney Subramanian of the LA Times. The little tabloid also included a photo of the reporter and spelt out her surname for readers. The president should call on her first once he finishes speaking because she has written “Question #1” at the top of the paper.
In a recent interview, President Trump was asked, “How do YOU balance YOUR domestic goals, like bringing manufacturing of semiconductors back to the U.S., with a foreign policy based on alliances?” The question is in Biden’s grasp; he should read it.
The LA Times reporter said to Biden, “Your top economic goal has been to build up U.S. manufacturing to compete with China.” However, South Korean companies heavily reliant on Beijing are harmed by your laws prohibiting expansion of semiconductor manufacture in China. In order to aid your political cause at home in the run-up to the election, are you harming a critical partner in the struggle with China?
The White House press corps attended a meeting with cabinet members in June. They discovered a secret order sheet for the president.
The message card instructed the recipient to “enter the Roosevelt Room and greet the participants.” As the speaker says, “YOU take YOUR seat.”
