Class action? Please... it's a product and they didn't promise you anything. All they offer is a service, and if you don't like it you can unsubscribe. That's about as far as you could and should go.
The real problem is like Imus, Opie and Anthony are not funny. This is why they get in so much trouble when they do antics, nobody is laughing.
I'm not sure how you compared this to the Dixie Chicks. This is an example of a company making a decision for their listeners on an already censored medium. The Dixie Chicks made a political statement based on their own beliefs. Radio stations didn't stop playing them because they were mad at them. They stopped playing them because they were afraid that sponsors would pull ads if they didn't. XM Radio has no ads or huge sponsors except maybe on the free part of the show broadcast through terrestrial radio.
I don't see any parallel whatsoever.
