It's not about the right to a national platform nor is it a First Amendment issue - Edit 1

Obviously Alex Jones doesn't have the right to demand someone interview him on television. But all sorts of heinous human beings have been interviewed on national TV because their views, however abhorrent, were deemed newsworthy. It's only this millennium that the belief has become widespread that our psyches are too easily damaged to be subjected to such a verbal assault.

I didn't watch the interview, only selected clips on various news articles where Kelly challenged him and he couldn't reply effectively. If you claim she didn't do that enough, that's a valid criticism. But that doesn't justify censoring the program once NBC determined they wanted to air it.
