The interview was just a recitation of anti-Biden talking points, phrased as questions. Showing false Facebook ads on screen and asking Biden to refute these lies or throwing Trump's "stone cold corruption" line in Joe's face and expecting him to comment is not journalism.

No smiles, no nods, just hard-eyed glares....

Delivering Trump talking points all the way.

Joe was having none of it. He redirected some of the questions to the real issue injvolved.

No gaffes, no mispeakes, just right on the button "rebuttals" and his own view on the matters.

Wow! Hardly what I'd call a softball interview. But Biden was relaxed, confident and answered every question. I actually think this is a good format for Joe Biden regardless of what they throw his way. Ended on a strong note with Joe swinging away at the legacy question, saying quite clearly it wasn't his legacy he was worried about. Rather his primary concern was for the country.

Good one on Joe! Solid performance.
