Again, it is the radio station's JOB to be in control of what they disseminate to their audience. The parent companies of these stations hold them to that standard and so should the public. People DO boycott stations for not bleeping out words in music. I also distinctly remember a boycott in VA when a station played Luda's song "You'z a Ho" during the day. The argument was that you can't really bleep out the whole song, so it shouldn't be played during the day. But, these albums have parental advisory stickers and capitalism speaks louder than morality in America, so boycotting the artist is a MUCH LONGER haul than boycotting the stations.
So, boycotting the artist AND the station can occur simultaneously. No one said you have to choose one or the other. Results are simply seen more quickly with the stations than the artists.
