The host of Joe Biden's first post-debate media appearance was fired after saying she received and used questions provided from the president's team ahead of the interview.
WURD Radio wrote in a statement on the decision to 'part ways' with host Andrea Lawful-Sanders:
The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners.
The Philadelphia-based station added that the 'practice of de-legitimizing Black voices continues today' and is concerned that any perception of accepting prepared questions will make it seem that WURD Radio is a 'mouthpiece' for the Biden administration.
Lawful-Sanders admitted the Biden team sent her eight prepared questions to ask the President – and that she used four of them.

He said the "crisis of democracy" afflicted various nations, but did not give any specific examples.
The pope was speaking on the day France holds a parliamentary run-off election, with the far-right National Rally (RN) expected to take the biggest share of the vote, a month after populist parties scored gains in European Union elections.
"Let us not be deceived by easy solutions. Let us instead be passionate about the common good," the pope said on Sunday, highlighting the damage caused by political "corruption and illegality".
The pope, who himself rules as an absolute monarch in the tiny Vatican state, said it was important to teach children the importance of democratic values, warning that "indifference is a cancer of democracy".
"I am concerned about the small number of people who went to vote. Why is it happening?" he asked.
Later, in a homily at an open-air Mass, the pope denounced widespread complacency over social injustice.
"Why are we not scandalised in the face of rampant evil, life being humiliated, labour issues, the sufferings of migrants? Why do we remain apathetic and indifferent to the injustices of the world?" he said.
The half-day visit to Trieste followed similar trips to Venice and Verona in April and May, and an address to Group of Seven leaders in southern Italy in June – outings that have tested his stamina after repeated ailments over the past year that have sometimes forced him to curtail his workload.
