“Covid-19”

Craig C.
3/15/20

This wanna be "crisis", covid-19 is a political stunt by the DNC and the media to hurt our economy and our President Trump! This vile and disgusting HOAX is the latest attempt by the democrats, the media, and entertainment business buffoons, to take down our President in an election year! These people don't care who they hurt or the damage they do so long as they can hurt President Trump! Hopefully, they will be punished!

“MSN is a pathetic left-wing site”

Justa C.
3/7/24

Can't STAND MSN's unbridle left-wing propaganda spin. Their homepage articles are extremely biased and almost exclusively "Anti-Trump". If it weren't for the useful sub-links such as weather, money etc... I'd have absolutely NO USE for their unabashed left wing liberal spin. They are despicable.

Msn.com is a very limited website for news because they make you install the app before you can read entire articles

MSN used to be a pretty good site to use as a home page, not so much anymore.
There are way too many scrolling ads; the videos don't always work though the ads before the videos play fine and have sound regardless of supposedly being muted; multiple header bars that now block the top third of my screen; every twenty-four hours a reader has to select to receive complete news articles instead of just the first couple of paragraphs.
What a pain in the butt!
Currently looking for something else.

This is the ABSOLUTE WORST! There is no fact checking, editing, or proof-reading AT ALL! You guys seem to put out what you think will make people click (CLICK BAITING) YOU GUYS ARE TERRIBLE FOR THIS> You seem to assume that the general public is very stupid, and while you may be right, there are some of us who don't appreciate your condescending verbage. Although your editors(?) probably do not know what that means. You are one of the things that makes the WWW bad! At least educate the people that are writing your stuff.

Some of the most valuable real-estate in the virtual world, yet it is filled with clickbait, false stories, appalling adverts and hate mongering.

I'm a Microsoft MSE and I dislike the garbage news they display. The setup of their news site is like a 5 year old kid did it. The ads are so bad you can't read.

MSN blatantly encourages hate, by forcing you to read from the same hateful people everynday since you cannot block them. I guess, in some warped way, it makes sense as they can sell advertising at a jacked up rate based on numbers. From what I can tell, moderation is nonexistent or automated at vest. Moderation seems to be based on key words, with nobody checking the content. The hatred and racism on this site has forced me to look elsewhere for my news.

When you click an ad that catches your eye you expect to read what you clicked on, nope! Fake antivirus scam page loads and making inexperienced users freak out and be scammed. Report the post, still the same, 3 months later, same ad, same page. Reported it now hundreds of times. I am starting to think they are the scammers themselves as this is allowed to go on. Major lawsuit to slap them into reality? Seems like a very feasible idea since there is real harm involved.

MSN throws everything at you on a single page. It's like visiting a middle Eastern market where there are so many products on sale, you wind up buying nothing. It's so confusing one can get exasperated while scrolling through their pages. Even though click-bait pages have proven very unpopular, MSN continues with this practice fine-tuning it to make it acceptable. However those pages can take 10 minutes to get to the point and are loaded with ads on each and every page you click through. To me this is very de-humanizing to say the least. Then they have the nerve to complain about Ad-B locking software. Tell you the truth if it wasn't for my ad-blocking software i would not be on MSN at all!

Too often MSN blocks comments on statements of fact related to religion, slavery or history. For example I tried to comment on the living conditions of the majority of folk in this country during the period of slavery and how the common people were repaying loans taken out to recompense slave owners through taxation until a few years ago. This was found unacceptable. Why? When it is a fact.

COMMUNISTS ARE IN CONTROL OF ANY ATTEMPT TO COMMENT ON THEIR SO CALLED COMMUNITY. REMOVED, UNDER REVIEW, BLOCKED FROM COMMENTING, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO START POSTING AGAIN SOON, ARE ALL PURE LIES. IF I COULD I'D SUE THE $#*! OUT OF THESE BASTARDS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN GET ANYONE AT MICROSOFT TO HANDLE ANYTHING FOR YOU. GO HERE GO THERE AND NEVER ANY HELP OR ACTUALLY FIXING YOUR ISSUES. THEY ARE WORTHLESS.

I am so upset. On an iPhone (and sure it's probably the same on Android) there is a small x at the bottom right of the window you type a comment into. This is also right next to the arrow to post the comment. As you type your words fill up the box and soon are right next to the X. Hitting this X accidentally erased everything.
First question; why is this x even there? Why does anyone need to delete everything they just wrote. Let's say for some reason I did want to start all over, I would just use my finger to swipe and select the entire text or tap and "select all" and the backspace to erase the entire text. The x is not needed.
Second; why is it there so close to the text that you typed? When attempting to tap and move my curser back to the end of the text I have written (when jumping around to fix or add something elsewhere) I have it that darn x and erased everything! And no option to bring it back. Even just having a pop up asking to confirm you want it all deleted would be great. I didn't know where to send this complaint to so I did an Internet search and it lead me here. Hopefully they are reading these and a change can be made. If anyone knows where I can send this "suggestion" to please post this method/info. Thanks!
Other than that, I like that they brought the comment sections back and added a censor program to try and block certain toxic text. Yes, I can be hard to work with at times and then you see others that are able to post some quasi toxic text while your decent text gets shot down. Then there are people that are finding the trick to slip things past the machine. It's not a perfect system but it's a start and allows for some dialog.
Over all the stories are good. Although, my only compliant there is that many times a story is written that must have an accompanying picture or video and it has none.

Deceptive news top to bottom. Very obvious liberal agenda. Absolutely filled with hate and divisive topics. I was so disgusted to read such idiotic "news" that I had to remove the content on the Bing page (it shows every time I open a new tab). At least now I have a blank page

At first I thought MSN as a hot new browser that showed up every time I clicked on the internet tab, but then. Later I found that I was constantly being spammed with sponsors and ads (probably how they can afford to exist) but again that still wasn't the problem, the problem was being constantly 'recommended' to try out Swoggi. I gave in and tried it out only it turns out you're meant to pay for points to bid, so that you can bid. In other words to pay money to get minuscule chances to spend more money, but it doesn't stop there the 'fake news' I was reading daily was turning my brain to rot including quotes by famous people that just weren't all that true and with that I give them a 2 out of 5 stars. This means I do not RECOMMEND it.

The site itself is not that bad, not so good either. There are some useful news and features, but sadly they are overshadowed by all of the negatives, all of which you can find in other reviews under mine.

Recently I discovered msn on my internet explorer. The choice of news items can be very trivial and biased. The letter writers are mostly dedicated paid zionists that promote apartheid in Israel/palestine and can be ultra right extremists. Should you try to reply or write your own review it will be rejected if it doesn't meet their approved tendency. I am trying to wipe it off altogether from my PC. If some one can help achieve this please advise

Tell me what's wrong with this comment -
"If a person is an adult, and choose to do a particular drug of choice, I do not believe anyone. Especially the government, does NOT have the right to tell ANYBODY what they can, and cannot do. Period.
Think of it this way. We all die someday anyways, and if that's what a person who is a grown adult chooses to do with their life, or part of their life, who am I to tell them "no, they shouldn't be doing that"?
I say legalize it. Leave ppl to do what they wanna do b/c in the end, they're going to whether the government likes it or not. They will NOT win the war on drugs. It's been a fact for many many years, that's just costing the taxpayers more and more money each year.

Tip for consumers:
Yeah, MSN should take their news articles and their website and $#*! right off! If they leave a comment section open, they ppl should be able to give an honest opinion, as long as it's not littered with obscenities.. why are they so hell bent on keeping ppl quiet, when they're the ones opening up the door for comments? If they can't take honesty, then don't leave ur comment section open!!! I'm just going to screenshot the news article and put it on a different social media platform anyways

Well, I tried using the comment section on an MSN news article, but they censor it so badly, that if you say "Boo" the wrong way, MSN flags it as violating Community Guidelines and block u from posting what you wrote. it's JUST RIDICULOUS!! MSN can kiss my $#*!!

Nice to get news story links on home page. Low starts are probably from people who think the news is fake. Lol

Microsoft "news" is installed on my operating system therefore I see it when ever turning my laptop on. The new is disgustingly biased, words are twisted, facts left out. I have NEVER see such encouragement of division, pushing hate-filled falsehoods, and lies in a publications such as msn. The so called "editor" that put this garbage together should be ashamed of themselves. How do the sleep at nigh? Trying to gain the democrat vote by pushing lies, fears, panic, and lies is criminal.

Not real journalists. Driving the continual liberal lunacy in this country. One the premier fake Propagandists agencies driven by the liberals. Ruined America with its narratives. Purportedly self promoted as real news, but not real journalistic work. Narratives are sensationalized for content picked out by liberal editors from our most liberal ivy league universities. Their style definitely demonstrates that mind control in universities work. Each news story is driven by the KKK Democrat false narrative that kept women from voting for 41 years and hold black people in inter-city slavery to this day.

Tip for consumers:
Not real but liberal media narrative pushed by lunacy, lies and deceit. Ignore it and use something else.
