Then they shouldn't carry it at all should they? Censorship, plain and simple.

Not carrying it would help make more people aware of what is going on. You think someone who is a Willie Nelson fan who excitedly runs into Wal Mart to buy the new album only to discover they will not be selling it will continue to shop there once they have their eyes opened? Censoring it keeps people blissfully unaware that Wal Mart is playing Big Brother for them.
