Normal when you’re making it clear to voters. People are trying to see if Biden is cognizant enough right now because of his historically bad debate performance and now we find out that they’re sending questions to hosts beforehand and then bragging that it was unscripted.
Questions before hand doesn’t mean it’s scripted. It just means the “approved” questions are presented, more or less.
And again, this is entirely normal. You don’t go into an interview without having preparation, and that’s not a “script”.
No one- and I mean no one- important enough to be interviewed is going to not give a list of questions they want to answer; and questions they don’t want brought up.
(For example, Jon Stewart’s interviews. The interviewees go on there knowing they’re gonna get asked hard questions, that they’re prepared to answer, and then they get on with reconditioning their image.)
If you already know what questions you’re answering, then it is scripted. Lots of people don’t script their lives so they get a gold star whenever they take a test by paying off the instructor in advance, especially if they’re going to brag afterwards to say that it shows that they are still smart and mentally strong.
That’s patently untrue.
A script details everything line by line. Being “scripted” means everything is written and planned.
Have a selection of questions is not the same as having a script.
Words have meaning, and I think you know that.
