22 minutes? Is he not capable of an hour long interview?
Seriously, you think this was a stamina problem and not an editorial choice? Come on
Geuninely I am concerned the Biden campaign limited the time for the interview to hide any gaffes. Its already emerged he’s had multiple “episodes” over the last 6 months, and today its been revealed he’s seen a Parkinson’s expert neurologist 8 times in the past year. Yet the biden campaign have aggressively and condescendingly dismissed all concerns over Biden over the same period.
Also in my country, the UK, political interviews are often substantial - 1 hour is not uncommon (often edited down) and even during our election we had full full unedited 30 min live interviews for each of the main party leaders.
Maybe 22mins is just because American TV is so dysfunctional? But given how the biden campaign have been so dismissive of concerns and then the debate has revealed them in a cold hard light, then yes I’m suspicious. There is little trust left after what we saw in the debates. The white house has been telling bare faced lies when directly asked about Bidens health on multiple occasions.
Biden has been a good president, but he is not a good candidate for this election. This issue is so damaging that he’s behind Trump in the polls despite trump being a convicted felon. And worse, no one is holding Trump to account because biden is a distraction. Trump said a lot of crazy things in the debate but all people remember is Biden’s performance.
But do you know that? Or just are handwringing over something you are worried about and then arguing that is the case?
It seemed to me a normal, not suspicious, length of time for an interview on ABC news
22 minutes is around the time of a 30 minute TV block after ads.
It’s ABC which is a commercial TV channel, despite its name, so I’m sure there were plenty of ads at least at both ends of the interview.
