Is it appropriate to edit creative content?

We have a radio playing at work and the song "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits was on this morning. In the song they use a homophobic slur to describe the way they feel people look at musicians. The station I was listening to edited out that word. No attempt was made to replace it there was just the brief silence. With so many song options I wondered why they would play a song if they disagreed with any of its content? I don't like editing like this and wondered what you guys thought. This is a link to the song and video.
