News stations don't have to give equal time and wouldn't if they could. First of all equal time is having 15 Repugs get the time since he is same party and its the primary. The only time this would be unfair to Democratic Party is the general. And the Clintons have a movie coming out September or October 2016 so there will be plenty of focus on Hillary as the democratic nominee during the general.
