Strikes me as something that is not broadly appropriate to default to (just like Fox News or msnbc would also seem to offend a significant portion of the population)...

Realize that it's a minor issue, but given that UA monitors these boards, they may want to change the default to something less controversial (like CNBC, which used to be the default)
Add it to the list

All seriousness though, I would have never noticed nor cared until you bought it up, but in this situation and given this, then I would complain about why they pick CNBC as I think it does lean one way more than the other....can't make us all happy.
