Forgive me for being so imprecise here. I'm not much into black holes, but I have read something about the new measurements of the magnetism in the black hole of M87 that I'm too lazy to google.
This is what I think I can remember of what I read. The magnetism in the accretion disk of M87 is so strong that it functions a bit like electron and neutron degeneracy pressure in white dwarfs and neutron stars, i.e., it prevents further collapse.
The ultra-strong magnetism in the accretion disk in M87 may act as a "brake" that prevents matter from falling into the black hole. Some matter does fall in, but a lot more would have been swallowed much faster by the black hole if the ultra-strong magnetism hadn't been there.

That's alright, Ann. None of us here are into black holes. If we were, there'd be no way to communicate with any of you outside the hole!
By the way, this is just my thoughts that aren't based on any science article, but in the Unification theory there are 4 kinds of forces. Gravity which only pulls and 3 magnetic forces that can push and pull equally. A bar magnet is an example. One side pulls and the other side can equally push. I noticed in the picture that the yellow and red colors are divided in half just like a magnet. In the right side the radio waves are clearly being pulled in, while the other side of the yellow the radio waves are pushed away. Is that then proof of the magnetic field?

The ultra-strong radial magnetism observed in the outer edge of accretion disk in M87 acts as a "brake" that prevents matter from freely orbiting the black hole.
As the plasma & magnetic field falls closer in to the black hole (as aided by the observed radial magnetism) it will all get more twisted up so as to produce the jets going out of the poles.
The magnetic field acts as a traffic cop directing material in at the equator and out at the poles.

Touché.

There is only one magnetic force, which is the electromagnetic force. The other two forces are the strong and weak nuclear forces. As far as I know, the strong force only pulls, and I don’t know what’s up with the weak force.

I think the real distinction between the four interactions (a better, more modern term than "force") is that the electromagnetic, weak, and strong are all quantum in nature, mediated by specific particles. Gravity appears otherwise, and is mediated by the curvature of space, not by any particles (according to our current understanding).
