The Dripping Bias and Contempt Award for the evening goes to Reuters: Pentagon survey says troops fatter, drinking more.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. troops were fatter and drank harder in 2005 than before the Iraq war started, according a Pentagon survey of more than 16,000 service members released on Friday.

Still, the Pentagon said service members appeared to fare better than civilians in measures of lifestyle and health-related behaviors.

I wonder how service members compare to Reuters editors?
