Sirius Patriot update: Assault from the Left.
Keep it up folks! Alex Bennett and Lynn Samuels were ridiculing people for
complaining about Sirius Patriot. For those that don't know, Samuels and Bennett are on the Left station. Samuels and Bennett were both hating on Olbermann as well for putting Sirius in worst person. Sounded like they were both pretty thin skinned about the whole thing, wonder why?

Bennett says this is why "he hates liberals and progressives" because he's a "leftist" and "leftists" don't do this. He asks why we don't have more important stuff to do. He must not realize that it only takes a couple of minutes to shoot off an email or post something on a widely read blog.

Bennett also said he objected to the name when they first put the channel up, and he did, I was listening that day. Frankly, I think he's a bit jealous that we may get Sirius Patriot changed to Sirius Right when he couldn't. Or at least get Sirius Left changed to Sirius Liberty or Sirius Truth, which would at least drive Bennett and Samuels nuts.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are making an impact, and the people at Sirius are paying attention. They're ridiculing us, but like Ghandi said... Well, you know.

1. I cancelled my Sirius subscription yesterday for this reason, as well as a few others,
like poor reception and bad customer service.

Sirius isn't in a position to let many subscribers cancel.

8. See, I think canceling right away isn't really effective I think the threat of cancelling does more.

As a paying customer, they have SOME obligation to listen to what you have to say.

If, after a reasonable amount of time and pressure, they don't respond, then you cancel.

3. Now now now.. they can't DO that because they all claim to be INDEPENDENT
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 05:00 PM by SoCalDem
they all secretly hope that their words alone will sway somemouth-breathing bible thumper into seeing the light, so they have to be "moderate".. It's why "liberal/progressive" radio fails so often.. they are afraid to be what they NEED to be and turn off the only chance at a real audience that they have.

Why listen to a so-called prgressive staion dis us, when we can listen for free on almost every channel on regular radio, and hear the same thing

10. I have to admit I had the same reaction as Lynn. Actually, it upset me when I first
joined Sirius, but I've kind of gotten past it. But I do remember how miffed I was.

4. Barring Randi and Stephanie most of it's a waste anyway.
Randi has information, homework, and documentation.

Stephanie has humor (except for stick-up-the-butt liberals and nurses) and great call ins.

I won't speak of Malloy as I don't listen to him, and wish to retain use of all my digits.

Having heard the others on Air America and the like...please. Move on.

7. It's the Pro-Life, Pro-choice misnomer redux
Why not call it Sirius Right and Sirius Left...or something just as equal.
But Sirius Patriot for a bunch of Right wing squawk hawks? Please.
There is NOTHING patriotic about this bunch.

11. I've emailed them.
And, while they're at it, they need to schedule all 3 hours of Hartmann in the morning (9 AM PST, Noon EST), not just one hour such as occurs now, AND, they need to get rid of Bennett and Samuels. I don't listen while they are on.
