MSNBC Hires Conservative Columnist Bret Stephens As Contributor (First NY Times, now MSNBC)

Bret Stephens, a Pulitzer-winning conservative columnist hired by The New York Times in April, is joining NBC News and MSNBC as a contributor, a network spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.

As Mic reported, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace announced the hire Wednesday, when Stephens appeared as a guest on her program.

Stephens’ hire shows that the cable news network, best known for progressive stars like Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, is moving to broaden its left-wing reputation. The network also has signed conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt to host a Saturday morning show, and hired Megyn Kelly and Greta van Susteren away from Fox News.

Gee, these so-called libural outlets obviously want to emulate fox "fair and balanced" theme
