Former ESPN host Sage Steele revealed that her 2021 interview with President Biden was “scripted” by network executives.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Steele recalled the “structured” nature of the pre-taped interview, so much so that her ESPN bosses handed her a “script” to go off of.
“That was an interesting experience in its own right because it was so structured,” Steele said. “And I was told, ‘You will say every word that we write out, you will not deviate from the script and go.’”
“To the word. Every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives. Absolutely. I was on script and was told not to deviate,” Steele revealed.
“It was very much ‘This is what you will ask. This is how you will say it. No follow-ups, no follow-ups. Next.’ … This went up to the fourth floor, as we said, where all the bosses, the top executives, the decision makers are, the president of our company, the CEO, where they all worked,” she told Fox News.
During the March 2021 interview, many of the questions Steele was instructed to ask Biden were about the efforts of sports leagues attempting to restore normalcy during the COVID pandemic.
Other questions were about athletes and fans refusing to take the vaccine.
Steele was suspended with pay by ESPN in October 2021, over comments she made about the Covid-19 vaccine, comments about Barack Obama, and comments about women who dress provocatively. She filed a lawsuit against ESPN in April 2022 for violation of her free speech rights. The lawsuit was settled in August 2023, and she then left the network.
