Oh come on- is this really to much to ask?

"The network set rules to narrow the field. Candidates had to meet at
least one of three criteria: place first through fourth in Iowa, poll
5 percent or higher in one of the last four major New Hampshire
surveys, or poll 5 percent or higher in one of the last four major
national surveys."

They have to narrow the field _SOMEHOW_, and those criteria don't seem  
particularly weird or biased.
