Alex Benett sux
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 10:32 PM by SHRED
I sure wish this little uninformed pip squeek would get his act together. I'd rather hear Alan Colmes fer god's sake!
Damn he pisses me off. Going on and on about how the Sheehan "movement" will die out soon. What side is he on anyway?
That fucker really pissed me off this morning.
Why is he on Sirius 143 as a "Talk Left" host? He should be on a neutral talkshow. Okay maybe NO talkshow. I have tried to listen to him numerous times but he does not keep up very good with the issues and his lax attitude is not what the Left needs now.

Is this the best that 143 can do?
Jeezus H Kryste I am pissed.
:grr:

1. Be gentle...Alex never realized his ambition of being Secretary.....
of State in an Abbie Hoffman-Jerry Rubin Administration following the revolution that never was.

7. hahaha
After hearing him yesterday I get the sense he would hawe said, "Well, ya know, Rosa Parks is just one woman. What's the point? She's just going to be ignored and nothing will change."

2. I've tried to listen to him- who likes him? He's an idiot
Lynn Samuels- there's another reason why people make fun of liberal talk radio. Their audience must be in the hundreds. My subscription to Sirius is nearly at an end- so much for saving some money by signing up for a year.

14. I can even handle Lynn Samuels.
Edited on Sat Aug-20-05 10:40 AM by Maat
I LOVE Hartmann. I love Stephanie Miller.

And Ed Schultz has been pretty good lately.

Young Turks are fine.

I can even listen (if I do a meditation first) to Alan Colmes.

Alex Bennett is intolerable.

I agree.

I really love the joke about what Bennett would say about Rosa Parks; he would say that.

3. Be careful of what you wish for.
Have you seen what they replaced AAR with on 144?
Korean news.

Until my contract with Siriuslysux runs out, I'll take what I can get.

5. Alex keeps quoting Drudge Report
He is so ill informed it drives me crazy. He is always quoting Drudge - I guess thats where he goes for his news. Liz Samuels really got on him today about Cindy - she said he is a woman hater.
I really miss AAR and the only decent person on Sirius is Tom Hartman.

6. Hartmann is great
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 11:38 PM by SHRED
He is one of the most informed radio talkshow host I have ever heard.

I can tolerate the Young Turks, Stephanie Miller, and Eddie.
Liz, Alan and Alex are losers.

It's a shame that AAR is off Sirius but my morning drive choice was Springer...yuck.

Left Talk radio is just starting to get popular. Let's hope it gets better, soon.

8. Well dear hearts, how much money are we willing to throw down the
Sirius rat hole waiting for quality, liberal talk.

Why is Thom Hartmann only on for an hour???

Are there not enough of us Sirius folks to band together and collectively contact Sirius?

If someone would write up a petition, I know I can get lots of signatures. I would just contact all of the folks who jumped on the Sirius bandwagon on my recommendation just to get AAR.

Thoughts????

10. I have been a loyal Sirius subscriber since just before they put..
on Air America; my loyalty is wearing thin.

I cannot stand Alex Bennett!

I just started back to work after 5 years (4 years law school; 1 year bar study/helping my husband with his company).

I want to listen to Thom Hartmann, Bill Press or almost anyone else!

The day he first started laying into Cindy - I turned it off in disgust.

I'm actually thinking of going to XM!

11. I demand a Sirius-insider tell me when they are going to add ..
a new progressive channel!

The other day I tried Alex Bennett for a few minutes ... he said that anyone who disagreed with what he had to say about Cindy could go f**k themselves. That was it for me.

I went over to Sirius Backstage, and a site moderator did seem to think that they were working on new progressive programming.

13. Sorry, I am replying so late.
I'm not sure. Xultar, for example, will help, I believe.

There are at least probably 10 of us.

I've e-mailed and called.

If someone has particular words to use, I'm open.

A moderator on Siriusbackstage.com did make a remark to the fact that Sirius has said that it is working on additional progressive programming, and I've heard it might show up at the end of September or something.

I just wish Sirius would communicate an estimated launch time to us.

I don't know how I'm even going to last one month.

20. Thanks for the post, Xultar.
He may have inspired Randi, but I cannot stand him.

BTW, if anyone wants to start a particular campaign, let me know.
