Media bias example of the day

Here's today's bias example. CNN and Foxnews. You won't need the links. Trust me. Which one uses which of the following phrases to refer to the current issue with the UN?

Oil for food scandal
Oil for food probe

Bonus points: Which do you think is more accurate? The answer is likely to reveal your bias.

Oil for food scandal: Fox.
Oil for food probe: CNN.

More Accurate: Oil for food scandal

Ought to be more accurate: Oil for food probe. "Probe," as in with something large and metallic into uncomfortable orifices.

I'd really like to see a concise, logical, well-thought-out explanation for why we ought to remain involved with the UN.
