After one tour in Iraq, another one on the way, and watching my working class family members being decimated by the Bush/Reagan economic policies, I am finally getting off my duff and joining our new politically active community. The past few days have been spent sending emails to various corporations voicing my displeasure from others suggestions, but after Path to 9/11, I figured out one of my own.
I have Sirius Satellite Radio in my car and have long been subjected to having one progressive station against three conservative stations in the talk section. Sirius has TalkLeft on one side against TalkRight, Fox Talk, and ABC Talk. Even though Fox and ABC are officially neutral, their line-ups are almost exclusively rightwing with a few moderates thrown in. Today I sent an email addressing my concerns via their form page. Tomorrow I will be sending a snailmail letter to them at:
SIRIUS Satellite Radio
1221 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10020
I suppose as members of DailyKos and bloggers we qualify as media, so anyone else interested can contact Lauren Kruk, Media Relations, at lkruk@siriusradio.com
If anyone is a member Sirius, you can also call 1-888-539-SIRIUS (have your account number) to voice your concerns. If we can't get some balance to talk radio on Sirius, we can't get balance at all on the radio.
