While the recent, apparent conflict of interest may justify Stein losing his column in the Times, his earlier dismissal as a commencement speaker (because he refused to deny he believes in Intelligent Design) shows that both sides of the "liberal" / "conservative" fence are willing to use censorship to restrict the free flow of ideas. The only way for a democracy to survive is to encourage (not just allow) the expression of differing viewpoints.
