If it was during the primaries or now it would be an issue

It was during the primaries - that's what they're talking about. It does matter, because these sorts of editorial decisions significantly impact the outcome of the race. Not that Yang was going to win anyway, but he did do a good job of improving the standing of UBI, which
went from a fringe policy to something that most people support.
After the primaries he was employed by CNN, so of course he wasn't going to appear on MSNBC then.

Probably not. It would be hard to find a bigger cheerleader for the Biden administration than Yang is. This isn't like 2016, when Bernie's support for Hillary was lukewarm at best. Yang's been a loyal soldier throughout.
