Don't NBC and ABC and CBS ban lots of candidates?

If you don't have a big enough chance at winning, you don't go to debates

Mind you, news networks recently had a very strong preference towards the incumbent president, aligning their news to match the president's talking points, and having nightly calls to align their messages

They don’t ban candidates from running ads.

They only air debates from candidates that meet some shared threshold.

Once the candidates are locked in, they can’t give preferential air time to one over the other.

Of course they can. Where did you get this idea? Do you think Fox News doesn’t give preferential treatment to certain candidates?
