This isn't really censorship as much as it is the company trying to save face while in the middle of a desperate battle with bureaucrats who were hired by people who were directly offended by O&A.

BUT...XM is not regulated by the FCC, it is not terrestrial radio. To suspend them from the venue where they can "say what they want" is 100% BULL****! Time to rip the radio out of the car, install a scanner and listen to ATC all day, at least I know THAT wont be pulled off the air!

My question now is, how long before Hot 97 / Power 105 (?) / Howard Stern (yes Stern) / and all the comedy stations on XM & Sirius are pulled off the air? Freedom of Speech is no longer free.

Communism here we come.

I just suspended my XM account for 30 days.

The dispute isn't with the FCC, it's with the Justice Department which will determine whether a merger with Sirius will violate anti-trust laws. I see this as a business decision, not a censorship issue.

Business decision or not, it's still censorship. They said something that offended someone (Condi Rice) and they were suspended. That's a form of censorship to me.
