The White House claimed that Fox Corp., the parent company of Fox News, has scrapped a Super Bowl interview with President Biden. Fox News, meanwhile, claims the White House turned down an interview with one of their anchors.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday morning claimed that Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, has scrapped a Super Bowl Sunday interview with President Joe Biden.Either way, no pre-game interview would mark a departure from the tradition of the sitting president sitting down with a figure from the network hosting the big game. Fox is airing Sunday’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
“The President was looking forward to an interview with Fox Soul to discuss the Super Bowl, the State of the Union, and critical issues impacting the everyday lives of Black Americans,” Jean-Pierre. “ We’ve been informed that Fox Corp has asked for the interview to be cancelled.” A White House official told The Daily Beast that the administration had locked in a pre-game interview with Fox Sports host Mike Hill and actress Vivica A. Fox, who hosts several programs on Fox Soul, the Fox Corp-owned streaming channel aimed at Black audiences. According to this official, the interview was set to air on Fox Soul on Sunday and could have been shared across Fox platforms, but the parent company nixed it.
During his time in office, Biden has yet to grant a single interview to Fox News, likely due to the relentless and personally vicious attacks its top opinion hosts have launched against him and his family.Can’t get enough media news? Subscribe to
