The Biden administration has actually played Fox News all week on whether Joe Biden would do the standard Super Bowl interview with the network this Sunday. The White House walked around Fox News on Thursday and made plans for a softball interview with 2 characters with Fox Soul, an unknown digital broadcast and streaming service. That offer was at first shot down by Fox Corp., triggering a White House declaration on Friday. Hours later on Fox Corp. relented, revealing that Fox Soul would be speaking with Biden which the 2 Fox Soul characters, Vivica A. Fox and Michael Hill, had actually flown into Washington to carry out the interview.
” The President was eagerly anticipating an interview with Fox Soul to talk about the Super Bowl, the State of the Union, and crucial concerns affecting the daily lives of Black Americans. We’ve been notified that Fox Corp has actually requested for the interview to be cancelled.”

Fox Corp. then released a declaration, “After the White House connected to Fox Soul Thursday night, there was some preliminary confusion. Fox Soul anticipates speaking with the President for Super Bowl Sunday.”
Friday night, the White House released a declaration stating the interview was still off ( by means of Variety):
” As we stated previously, we had actually set up an interview with Fox Sports Host Mike Hill & & Vivica A. Fox with the President ahead of the Super Bowl and Fox Corp had actually the interview cancelled. FOX has actually considering that put out a declaration showing the interview was rescheduled, which is incorrect,” a White House representative stated.”
… But Fox’s initial intent was to have actually Biden spoken with by Fox News. The concept didn’t appear to review well with the White House. Earlier Friday, a Fox News executive informed Variety that “We provided an interview with our leading news anchors without any strings connected. They’re ignoring a big audience and it’s a significant missed out on chance.” Within minutes, the White House Press Secretary tweeted that an arrangement for an interview with Fox Soul had actually been ditched by Fox Corp.
Fox Corp. later on attempted to welcome the originality. “After the White House connected to Fox Soul Thursday night, there was some preliminary confusion. Fox Soul anticipates speaking with the President for Super Bowl Sunday,” Fox Corp. stated in a declaration. The Fox broadcast network is anticipated to telecast Super Bowl LVII on Sunday, February 13.
Earlier today, Fox News anchor Bret Baier reported on the failure to reach an arrangement with Biden for the interview:

We’re lacking days.” #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/ptEgkA5IA6
