Due to technical issues Sunday night, MSNBC aired footage of NBC journalist Kristen Welker telling a Hillary Clinton aide what questions she was going to ask before a live interview.

During the post-Democratic debate coverage, MSNBC anchor Ari Melber threw to Welker speaking to Clinton’s director of communications Jen Palmieri. But because of audio issues, Welker didn’t realize that she was on the air and continued their conversation.

“And I’m going to ask you about Flint,” Welker told Palmieri. Eventually, the audio issues were cleared up and she began the interview.

Sure enough, Welker’s first question after the initial pleasantries was about the Flint, Michigan water crisis. “Let’s start with the issue of Flint,” she said. “…Tonight she came out for the first time calling for the resignation of the governor. Why tonight, and was that a last-minute decision to flip-flop?”


You can bet you ass Sanders didn't get a heads up like this.......
 
Seeing as they were in Flint - this doesn't sound like a major reveal...

I don't watch the cable news channels so in MSNBC's case I don't know if overall the network tends to favor one candidate or the other. It would be interesting to know how often something like this occurs, where they offer the question beforehand. In this scenario, as you stated, getting a question on Flint is not surprising in the least.
 
Wait until they have to report on her indictment. They'll have to say something, but they won't want to.

Thats true thingy, but the point is, it shouldn't have happened at all and we don't know what else she was told before the interview began.....the audio problem was fixed.

and of course, was Sanders given the same heads up about what he would be asked....
