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.

I'm not seeing how this is any different than a radio station pulling a song because a minority of advertisers consider the song controversial or offensive. Are you saying the station shouldn't safeguard it's interests by responding to pressure from it's audience and other ultimate sources of income? I'm looking for some clarity here. So if I and a vocal group of secular humanists decide to boycott a radio station for playing overtly Christian music excessively during the holidays, then I and my group are engaged in bullying?
