Does Kerry refuse one on one interviews?

[Onlooker]

An undecided voter I know claims that Kerry refuses to do one-on-one interviews unless all sorts of restrictions about the questions are followed. Is this true? If not, any idea where he might have heard his info? Thanks.

1. Bush is the One with all the Restrictions

2. I don't see why he would.

He's a smart guy who can think on his feet.

We know the Shrub likes to have it all scripted.

3. Sounds like Republican propaganda to me...

Your undecided friend may not really be "undecided" at all...

I certainly know that Kerry is FAR more open to the media than Bush* would dream of being

4. Face The Nation? Meet The Press? Kerry Thrives On A Longer Format

When he has a chance to address the real issue, not just the sound bite.

5. Just say that Bush does it, too

In fact, he doesn't even allow people into his rallies unless they're signed loyalty oaths.

6. He may refuse to be shot at by FOX talkshows.

Fox wanted Kerry to go on their talk shows and answer questions from the Swift Boat Veterans for Bush group. That would have just given those jerks more legitimacy but FOX preached it as Kerry refusing to do interviews.

Bush won't even go on the Daily Show.

7. I've seen that on Free Republic

Maybe he read it there.

I've seen Kerry interviewed one on one many times on television myself.

He is very good in the one on one interview, quite intelligent and articulate.

8. Republican Projection

Bush won't give one on one interviews, therefore Kerry won't.

Republicans hate Democrats, therefore Democrats hate Republicans.

Republicans are tied to special interests, therefore....
