A former press secretary for Jill Biden appeared on the Young Turks podcast this week and admitted that the Biden administration demanded pre-screened questions from reporters in advance.
Many people have suspected that this was the case, but this is the first time that someone from the Biden White House confirmed it.
For four years, millions of Americans watched Joe Biden respond to reporters with notecards or lists in his hands. This appears to be why.

Jill Biden’s Ex-Press Secretary Explains How Biden White House Bullied ‘A Lot of Journalists’: They Demanded Pre-Screened Questions and ‘Quote Approval’
Michael LaRosa, the former press secretary for First Lady Jill Biden, explained to The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur how the Biden administration bullied “a lot of journalists” in a newly released interview.
LaRosa made waves last month when he told an audience that the Biden campaign was guilty of “gaslighting” the public over then-President Joe Biden’s age and political standing last year. And he doubled down during his conversation with Uygur.
In the video below, LaRosa says:
I mean you saw them get caught trying to script questions to radio reporters that summer, summer of 2024. It was very reminiscent to me of being on the campaign in 2020, where these young press staffers in these states like New Hampshire, or Iowa, or Nevada, they were sort of like dog trained to make the questions conditional for interviews. And I said to them, “Please never ask the journalist for the questions ahead of time. You can always ask about the topics, but do not ask them for the questions for Dr. Biden.”
And they said, “Well, that’s what the other side tells us to do for him [Joe Biden].” I said, “That’s okay, fine. That’s their problem.

Michael LaRosa: “Quote approval. There was this thing in Biden world about quote approval. Everything had to be on quote approval: One person [within the Biden admin] decides what the reporter can use, what quotes… pic.twitter.com/97nT9R8p7F— Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) March 25, 2025
The evidence was there all along.
Joe Biden’s notecard doesn’t just tell him which reporters to call on, it includes what order to call on them in and what PRE-SUBMITTED questions they’re going to ask.
There’s no way this happened under Trump..

Can you even imagine the media’s reaction if Trump tried to get their questions in advance? It’d be called a Constitutional crisis.
