Well, it looks like there will be no presidential interview during halftime of the Super Bowl this year:

It sounds more like it’s the White House that’s dodging the interview.

From CNN:

Biden is not expected to participate in the annual presidential Super Bowl interview with Fox, the network airing the game this year. The Biden administration attempted a workaround that avoided a sit-down with Fox News, with which the White House has a contentious relationship. Fox has canceled the interview, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a tweet Friday.

Fox did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Aides for Biden had instead been working toward an interview with Fox Soul, a small streaming platform aimed at Black Americans owned by FOX Television Stations.

An interview with the Fox Soul network could have allowed the White House a workaround to still participate in the traditional pre-game conversation with a Fox-aligned outlet without having to sit with one of Fox News’ anchors or reporters. That plan, however, was doomed to fail.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy says the White House should just come out and say why they’re not going to let Biden do the Fox News interview, and he was happy to help:

Because the reason would be Biden might actually get challenging questions?

According to Darcy, it’s probably for the best because Fox News has been so challenging to this administration. And by “challenging” we mean in the lefty media “peddling misinformation” sense:

Nah. Simply put, there was no way in hell the White House was going to let Bret Baier grill Biden in front of a Super Bowl-sized audience.

Bingo!

Right? Why wouldn’t the White House want the president who, according to them, is presiding over economic utopia and secure borders want Biden to have the opportunity to set Fox News journos straight in front of a massive Super Bowl audience?

One more thing:

Except it actually still exists.
