In May 2007, XM received a cease and desist over comments made on "The War Room with Quinn and Rose" regarding comments attributed to Howard Dean. The Democratic National Committee asserted that the conversation quoted on the program did not occur, and that the reporting was defamatory. XM responded to the cease and desist order saying that they are not responsible for content on channels programmed by Clear Channel, and that further issues should be taken up with the show and Clear Channel.
