Steele: “This was about two months after he took office. That was an interesting experience in its own right, because it was so structured 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. Like, every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many executives, editors and executives. Absolutely, I was on script and was told not to deviate. (...) It was very much this is what you will ask, this is how you will say it. No follow ups, no follow ups. Next. (...) I knew that this was a lot bigger than just the wonderful editors that I worked with.
