Why do Fox news conservatives say Usama and others say Osama?

It's ironic that Usama contains USA.

I checked with an arabic-speaking friend. "Usama" is the correct pronunciation.

I guess Fox news broadcasters and Fox viewers are just smarter.

Its even more ironic that Usama contains USA ma.

Maybe Osama's mama has been telling him what to do all along and the govt. knows it, but would rather target him than his mother.
