and here is the Sirius Patriot Channel:

Why couldn't the channel be titled Sirius Conservative? I don't know who owns this company but I don't like the representation of this channel especially compared to the left talk radio. Here is the description of the Sirius Patriot channel:
Coast-to-coast conservative -- SIRIUS Patriot celebrates the red, white and blue with patriotic conservatives who aren't afraid to tell you what they think. You'll hear Mike Church, G. Gordon Liddy, Andrew Wilkow, Cam and Company from NRA News.com, Michael Reagan, news from the U.S Military from The Pentagon Channel and more!
Patriotic conservatives? So these people represent America?
Let's take a look at the description of the Sirius Left channel from this website:
http://www.sirius.com/...
Coast-to-coast liberal talk featuring outspoken, unique, and entertaining hosts like Alex Bennett, Lynn Samuels, Ed Schultz, Bill Press, Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller and more!
Wait so these people are just outspoken and entertaining while the conservatives are celebrating our country? Who wrote the copy at Sirius... Bill Bennett? I may be making too much out of this but I find it pretty offensive that this rhetoric is used on this station. The people on the left support this country as much on the people on the right and to suggest otherwise is just wrong. We should at least push for a more fair and balanced description.

I know in this election season there are much more important things on everyone's plates but when the powers that be try to put hidden messages it just hacks me off.
