I can understand a demand that the debate be neutral and that Mrs. Kennedy not engage in open support for one candidate or another until after the debate. But she has a first amendment right to express her views.

And as for MSNBC I would accept that term only if Fox News also was barred from broadcasting the debate.

That is, however, a ridiculous demand. First of all Mr. Brown, you are not likely to get any new votes or lose votes by appearing on MSNBC. Similarly Mrs. Warren would neither benefit nor lose by appearing on Fox News. The audiences for those two stations are fairly polarized.
