“I used to love Yahoo News”

Andrew p.
5/3/21

It was actually great reading the biased garbage that Yahoo puts out because the comments section would always make my day with hysterical jokes, common sense rebuttals, & faith-in-humanity-restoring commentary. But since they have taken down the comments section it's simply not funny, insightful, or interesting anymore. It is a propaganda machine through and through. Ironically, even though what they're doing is obvious as can be, it probably still works. I will not be looking at Yahoo News any longer for fear that I might become compelled to throw molotov cocktails at armed police officers to save black people from Donald Trump.

“Eternal Liberal Democrat bias//NOT a NEWS Site/A Liberal Democratic PROPAGANDA Site!”

Eternal Liberal Democrat bias//NOT a NEWS Site (a harvester of other real news sites)/A Liberal Democratic PROPAGANDA Site Only! It should be removed from the world wide web and never allowed back. Their one-way word & thought monitors reflect the sites disregard for any truth that conflicts with their obvious agenda and the senseless liberal lemmings continue to slobber on and slobber on with the 24/7 assistance of the Yahoo Liberal Word & Thought paid police.

Yahoo censors conservative comments. Allows liberals to spew hate. I have screenshots to prove this.

Yahoo news is terrible. The articles use throwaway comments that are unrelated to the story being covered to support a rather liberal assumption. Nothing balanced or fair there at all. I've been reading their news for the past 5 years and it's only gotten worse.

Yahoo censors all speech in comment section that isn' progressive. Even reposting the title of the article will get your comment rejected sometimes. Yahoo is part of the problem. One of the many reasons I switched my party this year from D to R.

Any pushback on the far left articles that Yahoo publishes or posts on their news feed gets removed or isn't allowed to be posted in the first place. Facts about illegal immigration, facts about migration out of certain states, facts about the economy that run contrary to a liberal's point of view are all censored. Meanwhile left wing comments that are easily debunked (but can't be due to censorship) are all over the comments section of articles. Comments like "Biden creating millions of jobs" which was just people going back to work after Covid and how the "economy is doing "great"" even though inflation outpaced any wage gains and consumer debt is at an all time high are left unchallenged leaving the far left readers on Yahoo to continue living in their bubble of misinformation. I'm sure the left approves of this, after all they were fine with the government coordinating with social media companies to censor information about Covid and the election even though it violated the first amendment. However, it is not good for the country and most rational people realize that.

Yahoo runs and reruns long debunked fantasies as "News" and then has the audacity to shut off comments because they don't like being called out for their idiotic behavior. Big Brother lives...

Yahoo news is probably one of the most biased and untrustworthy new sources on the North American continent, and I was listening to their editor defend their bias, saying that journalists are educated people and educated people tend to be more biased, because reality lead you to being a liberal was essentially what he was saying so in addition to being completely biased, completely liars and a shallow construct of the Democratic Party. They're a bunch of arrogant scumbags as well.

Extreme far left site. Anything they author is filled with misinformation and fake news. They censor your comments if not left leaning and deserve the one star rating.

Essentially this website has thrown a middle finger to 50% of the country. I am here to say that not everything is black or white, right or left. I have to believe that most people are truly good at heart. The news on Yahoo looks at a couple of bad stories, and labels an entire demographic of a population. Talk about being hypocrites. Don't discriminate according to a few peoples actions, but we can. Again, this news does not even attempt to be bipartisan. They look at big city issues... and that is how we all are. Ignorance is bliss. If you are an actual free thinker, the likes of Yahoo will try to destroy you. Freedom of speech. And then they send the mob. Kind, good, charitable, honest, and hard working people are peaceful. Most of these people represented... flipping out never truly help people. Being a mouth piece is not action... It is just a bunch of running your pie hole. Yahoo is so biased, and after having an email account for nearly 20 years, I have deleted my account... even though I had to change like 20 other accounts linked. It has been because off them being so divisive. I am a veteran, I have worked in medicine, construction, and I am now a teacher. I try to contribute to my community, and I do not partake in political conversations. I encourage everyone to just be nice to one another.

I used to like yahoo for the free email and occasionally read the news. BUT now all I see is fake news by bunch of crazy liberals. Why? How did this happen? Yahoo News is now a dump. Just like California and Seattle. Bunch of liberals repeating lies and thinking people will believe. Actually some stupid people do like Mary L. Who says trump makes a mess of the world. Like what exactly? Can someone be specific? I see myself as politically neutral. WHY? Why does the mainstream media only talk bad about one party and make the other party look like a saint? ALL politicians are corrupt. Especially Biden. Why cover for him? If Trump or Biden did something wrong, I want to see them behind bars!

The guidelines are full of it. While the racist ones get to stay, it seems like there is a glaring inconsistency in how they are enforced. It is disheartening to see that some individuals can freely spread hate and discrimination while others face consequences for minor infractions. This discrepancy in treatment raises questions about the fairness and effectiveness of these guidelines.

It is crucial for any platform or community to have clear guidelines that promote inclusivity, respect, and equality. These guidelines should be designed to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or any other characteristic. However, when these guidelines are not applied consistently, it undermines the very purpose they are meant to serve.

Allowing racist content to persist sends a harmful message to the affected communities, making them feel marginalized and disregarded. It also fosters a toxic environment where hate speech is normalized, further perpetuating harmful stereotypes and divisions. Such a situation not only erodes trust within the community but also undermines the platform's credibility and integrity.

Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive review of the guidelines and their enforcement mechanisms. There must be a clear commitment to combatting racism and discrimination, with swift and fair consequences for those who violate these principles. Transparency in the decision-making process is also essential.

Todays (Aug 17) Yahoo top story: "Worse to Come? Malaysia Detects New Coronavirus Strain 'DG14G' Which is 'Ten Times' Deadlier". In actuality, the "new" D614G strains (which Yahoo misspells as 'DG14G'), have been around since January, are already present in 70% of covid cases globally, and are already responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. Yahoo's (mis)leading news story is based off a facebook post they barely understand, and for which they had zero inclination to research before publishing.

Your homepage is dishonest - i realize you want to generate "click-bait" to show advertisers that people are reading your content - but I've now explored several articles and have concluded many or ALL of yahoo headlines are dishonest. Thus I've dediced NEVER to explore yahoo headlines. I though I'd mention this since your current disingenuous policies might hurt you in the long run - for I'm certain they will promote ill will towards yahoo in some readers- an example would be your mis leading head line in your lead story today, " How did we not figure out this would have helped?" - Overall I am angered at Yahoo for wasting my time and have resolved NEVER to click through on a Yahoo story - again i tell you this so that you may not offend future readers (too late for me) and that you may protect your future reputation and advertising revenues.

Yahoo must wonder by now why people don't bother to read its "news" articles. Articles that appear are all from the Left and Far-Left media rags. Article titles say it all.

My account was flagged to the point that every comment I made was removed, regardless of the fact that others used the same exact language and now I cannot see comments, much less post one. They're upset because I reported several bigoted and racist comments per day and chastised them for not being fair and equitable in their censorship. Right-wingers complain they're being censored; however, it happens to those on the left side of the political aisle as well. They get their feelings hurt when you question their dubious practices and biases.

Tip for consumers:
Yahoo has shoddy, biased, inconsistent moderators. You'll get banned if you question their methods or lodge a complaint.
