Kucinich argued that ABC is violating equal-time provisions by keeping him out of the debate and noted that ABC's parent Walt Disney Co. had contributed to campaigns involving the four Democrats who were invitedWouldn't the bigger problem here be corporate contributions to political candidates, which is very illegal? Or is this not true?

If said parent company contributed to said candidate participating in said debate... is it legal?
How about the exclusion of debaters? Would it be something they could walk away from and set up in another venue?
