That's fine, but that conflicts with your prior statement that "Who decides" was a problem, implying that the radio station's owners and operators deciding was a problem. Since you haven't retracted either statement, I'm insimply unsure of which of the two Boru's to believe. Did I misunderstand your prior comments?
The station in the article pulled the song under pressure. My concern is that if a tiny minority of an audience can pressure a station into changing its playlist, then the station ISN’T the one making the decision. This is bullying, not free market.
It isn’t a perfect analogy, but suppose 5% of the subscribers to a newspaper objected to negative articles about Donald Trump. Should the newspaper change its content based solely on that? The paper has every right to do so, but should they?
