Dear Ms. Schupf --

I am currently shopping for satellite radio services. I see in your channel line-up that your provide a conservative "values" channel you call Sirius Patriot and a liberal "talk" channel you call Sirius Left.

I am deeply offended by this comparison. The liberals I know (myself included) hold their political views due to deeply held values and are patriotic. The conservatives I know embrace the terms "right" and "talk".

Sirius is suggesting with its labels that liberals like myself do not have values and are not patriotic. I am upset, troubled and angered by this implication. One of the reasons I am looking for satellite radio services is for political coverage. If this is the attitude that Sirius has towards liberals, I see no reason to give you my business.

I hope that Sirius will give serious consideration towards renaming their political stations. 

Sincerely,

Clem Guttata

Sirius Radio (4.00 / 2)

Well said....and very true. I listen to XM Radio...especially "AIR AMERICA".

 



Me too! (4.00 / 1)

I had to get XM or lose my mind here in the land of Raese-controlled media. Talk radio in this area starts off with local pair of Talkers who are Rightwingers, followed by HK who's even further to the Right, then it's on to Rush. (sound of my head exploding)

 Newspaper is also owned by Raese and featured a scathing editorial after a Bush photo op which blasted local protesters for exercising one of those Bill of Rights thingies, ironically the same one that allows them to pollute doorsteps and newspaper racks all over the area.

 So Sirius doesn't think we Evil Libruls are "patriotic"? Huh. Just as well I invested my Librul Dollars in an XM subscription.

no reply from Sirius (0.00 / 0)
Four days later, my email has gone unreplied. No change in the channel line-up either.

I saw a suggestion on another blog that the liberal station be renamed Sirius Liberty.
