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.
This would mark a departure from the traditional interview that features the sitting president being interviewed by a news 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 tweeted on Friday. “ We’ve been informed that Fox Corp has asked for the interview to be cancelled.”
