I think this is a very telling look at the mass media of today. Somebody states an opinion that's this off the wall, and naturally the media covers it (as they tend to cover themselves rather extensively). Why? It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that what he said is obviously a falsehood. Radio stations are perfectly free to not play (or request an altered version to play) something that's obviously stupid and offends people.
A major problem with culture the way it is — if somebody says something stupid and offensive, and somebody comments on that, the ensuing controversy (and “censorship”) automatically make people assume that what was said was of value.
Sometimes something stupid and offensive is just stupid and offensive.
