Unfortunately, Gov Christie is an exception, as are the occasional Dems (other than RFK, Jr who is a DINO) who get invited on to face off against the talking heads. I believe that Christie would not have been invited to appear if he wasn't a primary candidate for the New GOP nomination for POTUS.

I agree that it is important for pols who disagree with the direction of the Repub party to get on-air time, but without an invite they won't appear on any of the prime time opinion/editorialist shows (these are not news shows by any stretch of the imagination) -- and these invites are rare. Most often it appears that these invites are for the purpose of denigrating the guest for the entertainment of the audience.
As I said, these media sources are pandering to the MAGAverse. A loss in viewership not only detrimentally affects the rates charged for advertising, it also leads to lower carriage fees; both anathemas to their profitability.
