John Scalzi wins!

And Fox News fails. At everything. As usual. Even Wikipedia knows that "baby mama" is slang for an unmarried mother, a.k.a. some woman you knocked up. And I'll believe there's no racial bias here when, and only when, Faux News calls Cindy McCain "McCain's piece of tail" or something equally crass.

Edit: BWAHAHAHAHA. Google wins too! Guess what you get when you type "faux news" into their search box? That's right, second hit down.

Oh, and on the "fair and balanced" thing -- it cracks me up so much. I don't think I'd mind Fox News so much if they'd just cop to having a particular slant and have done with it. Let's face it -- humans are human, and utterly "unbiased" news is mostly a misnomer anyway. I think I'm considerably more freaked out by the fact that they think they're reporting honestly and overtly trying to sell it that way.
