Interesting that he made so much of the Edwards/Stern thing.  Shows you how hype can present a distortion.  The hype from Sirius has been "Stern's coming".  OK.  But Sirius is also the service with BBC, World Radio Network (public radio worldwide), two NPR channels, a PRI channel and C-SPAN.  XM has BBC and C-SPAN....and, oh yeah, Bob Edwards an hour or two a day along with some programs from WBUR.  Yet, the impression left by the article and both services' hype is that XM is all about public radio (not true) and Sirius is all about Stern with no public radio content worth mentioning. 

I wonder whether the marketing folks at both revel in these distortions or think they need to address them and set things straight....
