In my country, last year, at a presidential debate held by one of the national networks with CNN en español, only four out of seven candidates were invited, as the incumbent (and later reelected) president didn't attend any debate as part of his strategy. The other two protested, of course. This happens when media and surveys seek to control public opinion. That’s not a surprise, as it happens in several parts of the world.

If this was TBS, my bets are they would pick a random guy to act as a stand-in for The Doctor and then forget to mention it wasn't really him.
