I know this is an old article, but I thought I would pass it along....go to the link for more info.

I am searching for a way to block this liberal crap from my att/yahoo home page. Haven't found it yet.

Right now, the webFASCISTS at att/yahoo will let you block "subjects" but not necessarily "news sources"...so I continue to see the most biased bull**** headlines and conservative bashing...

The latest was something about Texas going insane with Tea Partiers.

Another was how the GOP was going to be in trouble if Obamacare dies.

Anyway, I'm sick of the bias, so am searching for workarounds to avoid even having to see the lies.

I am all for healthy discussion and debate, but the att/yahoo "news" headlines are nothing but vitriol and garbage. Garbage with a capital G.

So if anyone else has ideas, let me know.

God bless.

SFF

Google chrome now has an add-on that you can get called “Personal Blocklist”, where you can add any site you want and those sites will NOT come up on your search results.

If the information at the link is outdated (I couldn’t find a “block” button it refers to), then try that!

And maybe it is time att/yahoo got the same kind of tool!!

Google has recently made changes to reduce the presence of so called ‘content farms’ like www.ehow.com show up high in their searches.

You can confine the search to one or more specific sites, like

Ted Cruz site:freerepublic.com



Use the same technique to exclude sites like Huffington Post, like

Ted Cruz -site:huffington.com

I add “-times” and “-post” to anything I search for.

Thanks for your post. I use Opera (since I quit Firefox over the crap treatment of Brian Eich). I’ll have to see if Opera has similar functionality.

FReepers should avoid using Google altogether!

Use Bing.com

Every time you try to look up a political story or fact the first 4 or 5 pages of results are from left-wing sources.

I’ve found the combination of Firefox, AdBlock Plus and Ghostery does an excellent job of preventing ads and stopping tracking.
