Can you find a mainstream media that doesn’t have commentators representing both sides? What is your suggestion, that anyone with a decent set opinions should step down from a media channel where someone reprehensible like Farage is a presenter?
I really don’t understand your point. Should all left wing journalists leave the BBC because of Laura Kurnsberg?

I think Kurnsberg/Farage is a false equivalence. Farage’s views are so pernicious and stir up so much hatred and LBC is the one media outlet that has consistently given him a platform. I don’t think this is about ceding ground it’s about taking money from an organisation which will happily promote racist views. Why not leave and take your 1.4m listeners with you? Surely that does more good than slagging him off to a bunch of people who won’t change their views and think you’re a woke lefty.

James O’Brien, despite holding supposedly opposite views, has no problem working for a media company which has given Farage a platform since 2017.
