30. Yes, he did have a choice. There is no law that he has to go on Fox because of a stupid sport.

He could have led the way to changing that 'tradition'. And it isn't a tradition for Democrats to be ashamed of being Liberals when attacked by Bill O'Reilly.

I remember Kerry not showing up for an interview with O'Reilly I believe he had enough of their garbage and wanted to make the point that they were NOT A LEGITIMATE NEWS Org. O'Reilly was stunned and had to search around for someone to take Kerry's place, he found someone, McAullif, who was late, so O'Reilly was left talking to himself. Many thought Kerry could not just not show up, it wasn't done!! Well, it WAS and a beautiful thing to watch.

So no, he did NOT have to go that illegitimate, pretend 'news' organization. Someone desperately needs to take a stand against them. And this would have been a great time to do it.
