You're the one accusing the situation of having McCarthyistic tactics, when it's simply not true.
Privately-owned stations are deciding what they will play.
When a House commitee (pretty sure I butchered THAT spelling) is formed to investigate a possible red menace within the country music establishment, and subsequently coerce Nashville to not give work to certain sympathizers out of fear of legal action being taken against them by a government entity... THEN you can say it's McCarthyistic tactics. As long as it's simply privately-owned radio stations deciding what they will and will not play, it's nothing of the sort.
