All sirius subscribers please call 1-877-337-4748!
Lynn Samuels said that Obama flew back to Hawaii to destroy his real birth certificate. She says that Obama is a foreigner that wants to destroy the country. She also says Obama wants to throw people in concentration camps. She says Obama is dumb and doesn't understand the constitution, and that McCain is an honorable man but Obama is dangerous and a fraud. She must go! :mad: :puke:

we NEED a transcript so Sirius can't deny what she's saying.

16. Unlike broadcast radio, Sirius knows exactly what the audience count is at all times.
Your best bet is to listen to a comedy channel or some soothing music when she is polluting the air.

19. Not true
Sirius knows who is listening to what through the online stream at all times. But the satellite radios have no ability to track listener patterns. The hardware isn't able to send data back to the satellites (think about it, that would be pretty amazing).

So basically, if you're listening to Samuels through a satellite radio Sirius has no idea.

44. I agree with this... you don't have to be 100% pro-Obama
But if you're a leftist, really, there is no way you cannot vote for him.

Sirius should consider kicking her ass out of the lineup (and maybe start playing more livee feeds from Air America).

7. lynn samuels is nuts. she loves drudge, and is just a crazy person
one of the reason why I left Sirius because their progressive radio is lacking

I have XM, which is better, but not great either

but no way would I stay with sirius have people like samuels who claims to be a liberal. We don't need so-called liberals like her

13. First of all, stop taking her seriously.
Remember, she's a lonely old woman with no one else around her. Without her radio show, she's the wacky next door neighbor with the 70 cats.

23. I wouldn't cancel over it..
..but I agree that the "Left" channel is a joke. Samuels is a nut-job and Alex Bennett isn't much better. Listening to both of them talk about Obama you'd think that you were listening to the right-wing channel. I generally agree with Bennett on most other things though and still find his show entertaining. I have never liked Samuels.

Hopefully the merger with XM will bring about some big changes on that channel.

30. I've called Sirius many times about her.
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 09:23 AM by Old Broad
They all but laugh in my face.

The time she called David Brock a Nazi was the first time I called them. I hate her fucking guts.

My husband's theory about why they keep on the air is that she is cheap. They probably don't have
to pay her as much as somelike Thom Hartmann. They cut Thom's show to an hour on Sirius 146 and
have this nut on for two hours after him.

66. That's why I took the step of cancelling altogether. THEY NEED SUBSCRIBERS
That's the only way to make a point. When I canceled, they asked me if I didn't like any of the other programming, I said that I certainly did and I found Sirius to be great. However, my dial stays on Sirius Left most of the time and I just couldn't in good conscience keep paying for a service that doesn't give me the programming I want on a channel that is central to my choosing the service.

The rep was very nice and promised to send the reasoning on and even gave me the number of the man in charge of talk programming. They even gave me a refund for my last months subscription.

If more people do this, then we can guarantee Samuels departure.

I remember her back on WABC and was happy to find her on Sirius, until the primary came down to Clinton and Obama, she turned ugly and I stopped listening to her.

I'm not going to go to the extreme of dropping Sirius, but I won't be listening to her spew hate and lies about Obama.

They couldn't find a worse line up for our side.

With the exception of Thom Hartmann's one hour from noon to one, the station is a joke.

43. I have a rental with Sirius now... not convinced about Satellite.
Not enough liberal talk shows. The music is ok but the sound quality is often so-so (I guess they try to cram too many channels in their feed).

My car was totaled after being hit by an idiot on the freeway.

If my next car does not have sat radio, I will not miss it.

68. The liberal programming would be great if they actually programmed liberal shows
That's the problem: they don't. They think that liberal radio is a niche market and doesn't bring in the money like right-wing hate radio and to some extent its true. But liberal radio should work beautifully on a subscriber model like satellite but they don't spend enough to get decent programming. As a result, they just throw a rag-tag group of people out there that say they are "liberals" and hope for the best.

It's an afterthought to them - that is until enough of us CANCEL our subscriptions in protest. I know it seems drastic, but its the only way that anything will be done about it. BUt my reasoning is that the majority of my time with Sirius was spent on Talk Left and while I enjoyed the other programming on that channel and on others, I can't continue paying for a service that isn't holding up its end of the bargain with programming. I'll come back when changes are made, but not until then.

46. Why don't you just stop listening?
I have never heard of that show, and if your characterization of it is accurate (I believe you) I would just not listen. What is it with people feeling that it's their job to silence others? That doesn't seem very progressive to me.

You can silence her just like I have silenced Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly and others of their ilk: Stop listening.

I wasn't a frequent listener, but her on-air time on Sirius matched up with lunchtime so I tuned in while in the car.

67. The only way they move her is if their revenue dries up
Face it: she's cheap and calls herself a liberal, that's why they keep her on that channel. They won't make a change unless they see revenues dry up.

I am just using my IPhone in my vehicle to play tunes through my stereo and it works great. Don't get me wrong, I am going to miss satellite and I will come back once they can Samuels, but not until then. It's the only way subscriber-based radio will pay attention to listeners and provide programming they want.
