Does anyone listen to Apple's radio station, Apple 1? I put it on today for the first time in ages and within 3 minutes of listening I counted over 15 bleeps of obscene words. The music was gangster rap and it seems every time I put on Apple 1 it's one gangster rap song after another. The "vocalist" was extraordinarily misogynistic, saying the most insulting things about woman you can imagine, if you fill in the blanks for the bleeped out words. Why does Apple play such music and how do they get away with it in today's #MeToo world?
Got a tip for us?

They play the top hits. They get away with it just like anyone else does. Not playing it would be viewed as censoring art. People are allowed to say anything they want, that's how Freedom of Speach works. It's DOING things that get them in trouble with. #MeToo
You sound like a Pearl Clutcher. Also why did you feel the need to link the definition of Misogynistic? Is that a big word for you or something? So weird.

You need to learn how to read. It all went over your head. Listening to Apple 1 shows dozens and dozens of bleeped out words. The words ARE censored by Apple. There is no freedom of speech on Apple 1. So if Apple is afraid of these tunes, why play them to begin with?
Not a single thing you said conveyed that was the issue you were expressing. All you did was complain about "such music" and that it was misogynistic. Not that it was edited.
