It's also not a racially-charged term.
So the argument of McCain's "trophy wife" only shows Fox's balance if you are trying to say they are balanced in being BOTH RACIST AND SEXIST!

Why is "baby mama" and "baby daddy" racially charged? I agree that it's an insult as it's used to describe out of wedlock babies. But why is it racist? I've seen the term "baby daddy" used many times talking about whites. Is it racist because Barack is black?
I'm not defending the stupid insulting use of the term. But saying it's a racist term IS racist.
