President Joe Biden won’t be doing an interview with Fox News ahead of Super Bowl LVII. Is it because Fox News is too evil to be fair? Is it because Biden is too old to do well? Is it because of conditions, scheduling, or a disagreement on venue or the particular Fox property?
Nah.
On Friday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted the news that there would be no televised tête-à-tête, saying “Fox Corp has asked for” an interview with little-known streaming service Fox Soul to be cancelled.
But that is not the whole story. In fact the bickering and arguing about who cancelled whom is extensive.
The main thing to know is that as late as this morning the fate of the interview was unknown, but reports that Fox News had lost “hope” ran wild. It wasn’t until Jean-Pierre’s tweet that hell broke loose.
Now the interview on Sunday — which has not yet been referred to as a Super Bowl interview and we do not know whether will be carried during the broadcast — is back on.
For now, at least. And not with Fox News.
