For the same reason we need an arbiter of truth as an arm of Homeland Security. Apparently there is only one approved opinion or -truth-, for varying degrees of truth.
These are media figures. In a state of things where our media is functioning as it needs and is intended to, we have a diversity of opinion and that is presented from many perspectives.
To answer the question, frankly people are way more complex than the media allows for, or speaks to.
Unless their speech is somehow criminal, blocking them financially is showing more of a disturbing trend where we see corporations stepping into what is basically thought enforcement.
