From a New York Times story by Michael M. Grynbaum headlined “CNN Town Hall Featuring Trump Reignites a Debate”:

Should a leading presidential contender be given the opportunity to speak to voters on live television?

What if that contender is former President Donald J. Trump?

Mr. Trump is set to appear on CNN on Wednesday night for a town hall in New Hampshire — his first live appearance on a major TV news network (besides those controlled by Rupert Murdoch) since 2020 — and a torrid media debate is swirling.
