Shocker! Jesse Jackson has a retarded opinion.

Jesse Jackson is speaking out against something he knows virtually nothing about…

Engadget has the details.

What’s the point of this guy?  He just gets people pissed off and fired up for nothing…  Now I’ve got XM (so I can’t speak for Sirius) and I’m very proud to say that the XM programming is amazingly diverse.  From Latin music, to Folk, to Christian, to  7 “Urban” channels.  They’ve even got public radios channels dedicated to both liberal and conservative listeners.  Hell - there’s even a South Asian Radio channel if that interests you.

The broadcast radio ’round Raleigh-Durham has a fraction of that diversity.

Well thank god that Jesse is here to save the day and make sure that Satellite radio is diverse.

:: sigh ::

I go to my commercial free satellite radio to escape this kind of ignorance and lunacy.  If I wanted that - - I’d listen to a Clear Channel broadcast station.  (yes-yes I know CC owns some of XM, however, it’s a crazy small minority stake)
