Its a silly argument in any case. NBC is clearly the most biased of the three broadcast networks, and their bias certainly doesn’t tilt to the Right.
The idea of NBC going out of their way to aid a Republican is just about as ludicrous as NBC wanting to embroil themselves in the kind of legal wrangling with candidates from both parties that Professor Volokh describes.

An example of equal time from Dan Rather on CBS:
“Governor Dukakis, please tell us about the “Massachusetts Miracle”.
