A mega conglomeration of liberals.

What you have listed are either mutual funds or custodians. They are not the true beneficial owners of the stock. The mutual funds can vote the stock at their discretion, but the custodians cannot.

Actually they were listed as "industrial stockholders." Nevertheless, they represent their own biased interests, acting under whatever technical mechanisms. As such, they explain the type of "news" Yahoo promulgates.

If you buy 1000 shares of Verizon in your Fidelity or Schwab account, State Street Bank will be the custodian. They are only responsible for the tracking the book-entry ownership of the shares. Your brokerage will still send you the proxy materials, and you will still be the only one who can vote the shares. State Street has no power to do anything except transfer the stock to another owner when told to do so.

I agree! I am constantly getting the message that I have reached the first message in my inbox. As if I don’t already know that. The message nearly covers what I am reading and has to be xed off. Also, if I scroll down on a page, I’ll get the NEXT message!

Didn’t know that, thanks. But do they all work like State Street Bank - paticularly Goldman Sachs?

So Yahoo is owned by a bunch of yahoos!

BTW, I notice that pretty much EVERY news feed is insanely liberal.

But don't forget that the big Kahuna is Drudge.

When he links to a story, notice that no matter the liberal "source" it immediately becomes a conservative chat board.

It really angers libs when the adults come in and blast the liberals to shreds.

I've also noticed that some "news" sources like Reuters and/ or AP have stopped allowing *any* comments.

That tells you that they DON'T want to hear an opposing viewpoint.

I would add at least two more...

“10 Careers That are Booming.”
“The Top Five Trending Degrees.”

Same two articles every week, although the stock photos cycle in an irregular pattern.
