Update: Ben Winston, the executive producer of the Late Late Show, denies that Joe Biden was reading off a teleprompter.
Hey there @steveguest @cernovich @mbracemoore & @theblaze - so sorry to disappoint you. I am the exec producer of @latelateshow . That’s actually James’s prompter. Not @joebiden ‘s. On zoom they see all our screens including our prompter. It’s the only way it can be done. https://t.co/WQoj9BT8H1

Original post follows:
Joe Biden has made the most of delivering remarks in his tricked out Delaware basement. The private, orchestrated interviews that he conducts from his home office allow him the luxury of reading from a script even for interviews that would, if in studio be unscripted.
The reflection of his notes was visible when he held up a large, framed glass photo of him and his two sons from their college days. As he faltered over the description of the photo, the image of the onscreen teleprompter was made clear.
Check out the teleprompter in the reflection. Biden blatantly read from a script for most of the interview with James Corden.

I bet his handlers weren’t too happy with him going off script. He probably got reprimanded. pic.twitter.com/BPK2FGB8cz
Biden has been criticized this election season for being unwilling to say much that has not been pre-written. Despite evidence to the contrary, the Biden campaign has taken issue with these accusation that Biden is not willing to speak off-the-cuff, and without prepared remarks.
There have also been suspicions that the questions Biden is asked by press are known and or vetted by the candidate and his handlers before hand. At a campaign event in Kenosha, Wisc. Biden took a question from BLM activist Porsche Bennett where she said, first off, that she "was told to go off this paper but I can't. You need the truth and I'm part of the truth."
At a later campaign event, Biden took ridiculously easy questions from reporters. The first question, from an Atlantic writer, asked Biden to comment on the state of President Donald Trump's soul.
As it turns out, this was an Atlantic reporter. https://t.co/89Roum0y95

Biden was asked about an article that ran in the Atlantic which named unknown sources saying that Trump had said mean things about American troops. The reporter read some of those words aloud for Biden, and then asked "when you heard these words... what does it tell you about President Trump's soul and the life he leads?"
Biden then remarked on the President's soul, saying "I'm gonna try to be measured in my response. If it's true, and based on all the things he's said I believe the article is true, I'd ask you all the rhetorical question, how would you feel?"
This is what passes for serious policy discourse in the Biden camp.
