Why Hasn't MTV Interviewed President Bush?
09.03.2004 5:10 PM EDT

Throughout MTV's coverage of the 2004 presidential election, many of you have been contacting us about providing equal coverage to both major presidential candidates — Senator John Kerry and President George W. Bush. Some of you write that you've enjoyed our programs with Senator Kerry, but you ask why MTV hasn't interviewed President Bush.

We agree with you that we can best serve our audience by presenting both candidates and campaigns in equal measure. But while Senator Kerry has now sat for five interviews with MTV, President Bush has yet to agree to a single appearance. MTV has been pursuing an interview with the president all year and would welcome him on our network at any time. To date, the Bush campaign has told us that it hasn't been able to schedule an MTV appearance.
