 Sensitivity during tragic times isn’t always censorship
Radio profits are garnered from advertising, and advertising revenue is generated on the basis of listener reaction, so removing songs from play during a time of crisis because of high potential for complaints is too complex an issue to be addressed in strict terms of right and wrong.
Radio stations issued advance copies of the album have been asked to not play the song "New York City Cops." The chorus of the song quotes a girl as saying New York City cops / They ain't too smart.
The list has largely been circulated and discussed under the guise that the listed songs are "banned" from play on Clear Channel stations; this claim is untrue.

 18. Broadcasting Becomes Widespread (1922-1923)
As radio's mysteries captured the public imagination, it was increasingly reflected in popular culture, including the publication in 1922 of the wistful song, I Wish There Was a Wireless to Heaven (The Radio Song), followed six years later by a somewhat happier tune, A Bungalow, a Radio and You.
In The Radio Boys at Mountain Pass our heros continue to spread word of the wonders of the new technology of radio through the community, witness the broadcast of a local church service, and speculate on the day when cars will be equipped with receivers.
In 1937, Harris recorded his experiences being assigned the job of starting up operations during "the horse and buggy days of radio" in the opening sections of Microphone Memoirs (operations extracts)--a task he poetically likened to being "led into the garden of Parizade and placed beneath her Singing Tree whose leaves dripped harmonies".

The Clear Channel list is apparently not a flat prohibition against these songs by the nation's largest chain of radio stations.
Radio personnel were still free to make their own programming decisions, and the list was merely intended as helpful advisory information.
So, many radio stations have recently invoked voluntary moratoriums on songs which refer to airplanes, crashes, violence, and death in their lyrics or titles.

 Society Fresh : Article 'Timeline of fictional future events'
See also: Lists of television shows by city setting; and List of movies for a list of movies set in specific locations.
Science fiction and other related fields of fiction are often set in the future, or at least involve events in times that have not yet occurred.
It is rarely true that science fiction writers are seriously attempting prediction - the needs of the story are usually the primary concern, and science fiction stories are often more about the present in which they are written than the future in which they are supposedly set.

 Prometheus Background
It may be the tactic of some nasty commercial radio stations who are still sore because they are mean people and do not want anyone to get LPFM licenses: they may file petitions to deny for every station that applies in town.
Someone who works for or manages a full-power radio station may not be on the board of directors or otherwise control an organization with a low power license.
A project like a low power radio station is guaranteed to attract them: people who talk too much in meetings, who want to take over, who think the government is out to kill them, who will misrepresent you in public and turn other people off.

 Aircheck Radio News
Although not all of the UK commercial radio stations participated by taking the UK Radio Aid live feed from London, those that didn't did spend the day raising funds in their own way, or at least relaying updates on how the day was going.
Regular programme presenters for commercial radio stations across the UK went in to work at their normal times but, in comparison to usual, did very little, except during commercial breaks and opt-outs where each station could relay local fundraising news, travel updates and recaps on ways to donate.
Although this is a response to a tragedy, the day has been about hope, with a lot of fun and extraordinary entertainment, thanks to the generosity of the artists, presenters and radio companies involved.
