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?

Your analogy could easily be reversed to something that 95% are fine with . Should the other 5 % be forced to see it even if they are not part of that majority and if your going to say that it's objective it ask to who?
Please note i don't really have a side on this one i'm just asking the questions
