    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.

      Timewarp seems to be a pro fascist posing as a worried left wing who points out technicalities and uses weasel wording to try to get people to not vote, ignore them

        given their reply… I’m thinking you’re right (and they don’t actually know that words have meaning.)

      Providing the questions beforehand means you already have an answer planned. That is called a scripted response. It means you have “acceptable” questions and “acceptable” answers already planned. If your answers are unscripted, then you have no reason to provide the questions in advance. That is reality. People can live in a imagination-land where Joe Biden is winning in polls and is likely to beat Trump at this point. That is fine. I just prefer to stick with reality.

        It just means talking points, nothing prevents the interviewer to ask follow up questions.

        Providing the questions beforehand means you already have an answer planned.

        Holy shit, politicians prepare answers for questions political campaigns feed interviewers? This has literally never, ever happened before in the entire history of politics and media.

        Except for every other election.
