Usage about the verb 'protest'
Hello experts!
You have been always a great help whenever I needed your help here. Thank you very much for all that.
This time, the verb 'protest' molests me.
I've seen a few examples from googling, which show that 'protest' can be used in passive sentences.
However, the subjects in most of those passive sentences were people.
Straightforward, is this sentence usable?
" We want to apologize for the show that has been protested for its broadcast content."
Please help.......
