This sad episode really illustrates what is wrong with TV News. The problem with hiring McDaniel was not that she is a conservative voice incompatible with the liberal lean of the MSNBC side of the family, which is how Conde is spinning it. The problem is that she is an election denier (recently unconvincingly reformed) and supporter and apologist for insurrectionists. It is harder to put balanced voices on your opinion page when so many on one side are now hostile to constitutional democracy, but that is due to the weaknesses and lack of courage of a majority of the Republican Party, not liberal intolerance.
If NBC had offered a job to Nikki Haley or Mike Pence, they may have been criticized by the Chris Hayeses of the world, but could also have safely ignored them. They are hyper conservatives who enabled Trump and advocate many policies that I find horrific and immoral, but have not disqualified themselves from participation in public discourse with polite society by betraying the fundamentals of our Republic. McDaniel has. If NBC was covering the last year of WW2 would they have hired Joseph Goebbels as a paid consultant, just so they could claim to be giving equal time to all views?
