KERRY ACCEPTS INVITATION TO ADDRESS AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS IN PRIMETIME BET NETWORK INTERVIEW SPECIAL
Washington, DC - Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) has accepted the invitation extended by BET Founder and CEO Robert Johnson to address African-American voters in a primetime interview special on the network. The SPEAK NOW SPECIAL with Senator Kerry, named for BET's non-partisan national voter registration and political activism campaign, will televise on Thursday, October 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, with an encore telecast on Friday, October 8 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT following BET NIGHLTY NEWS. Long-time BET News anchor and talk show host Ed Gordon will host the half-hour, one-on-one conversation with Senator Kerry.


Mr. Johnson invited both President George W. Bush and Senator Kerry on September 14 to each have their own prime time opportunity on BET to discuss issues of relevance to African-American viewers as the November election draws nearer. To date, only Senator Kerry has accepted the invitation. The Bush Administration has offered only a response that they are considering BET's invitation.


BET recently partnered with sister Viacom-owned entity CBS News to conduct the most comprehensive election-year study of registered African-American voters ever by a news organization. The findings of that poll identified issues of importance to African Americans that both Republicans and Democrats should closely consider. BET's questions of Senator Kerry will reflect not only what that polling data uncovered, but also what BET NIGHTLY NEWS coverage of the entire campaign season has shown to be pivotal issues.

1. Kerry will go on BET, then Hannity will say Kerry gets more airtime.

2. * should request equal time

and speak to the Klan. I'm sure they'd love to have him.

"Consider" this Bush.. You're a racist asshole and you're afraid to take questions from any group that isn't hand picked by your brownshirt thugs.

3. i agree

but there are some bp who say that kerry is pandering to blacks simply BECAUSE he is appearing on BET.
