18MR: [CN: Racism; misogyny; harassment] 'Man Banter' Fails to Amuse

Via email, an update on the above story, care of 18MR: "Thanks again for covering this story. Here's a little update, which speaks volumes about the culture we're trying to change. Yesterday, 18MillionRising members took to SiriusXM's Facebook page and Media Relations phone lines to ask why the company hasn't done anything about Mike Babchik's abuse and lies. Phone calls were neither answered nor returned, and SiriusXM social media managers deleted comments asking about the case. We're looking for a real response from SiriusXM: no more unanswered emails, voicemails, and deleted social media posts!" If you're on Twitter, you can also tweet at SiriusXM here.
