I just took a look at the Yahoo homepage. (vanity)

The Yahoo homepage features five top stories at a time, each with a picture. For the last week or so I've noticed that one of the five top stories was usually article slamming Trump in some way.

But there are now two such articles up as I post this. One has the new London mayor condemning Trump's "playbook". The other has "experts" denouncing Trump's economic policies.

Imagine that. Yahoo's homepage is not supposed to be a branch of the DNC. It's supposed to be a news site. Yet with all that's going on in the entire world, two out of their top five articles just happen to be critical of Trump.

I guess Yahoo is hoping for DNC advertising cash to stay afloat a few more months.

How come these people trying to determine our next President aren’t paying us taxes?

Yahoo is working to get itself sold and knows well what side of the toast is buttered. By trashing Trump, Yahoo is working to increase its value among the elites who might offer for it.

I think we will have to branch about and sign up on these MSM websites and use our voices in the “comments” sections starting very soon. Most people haven’t really followed the election like most of us had and we will be able to blunt some of the Tsunami of MSM propaganda that is coming.

The only drawback is that these sites insist on your giving up every scrap of privacy in order to join the comments boards, so be forewarned. Your Google dossier will be a fat one by election day. LOL

Yahoo makes Pravda look even handed.

I have used their finance portal for years but am ready to quit because of the nonsense. All Hillary articles are positive and Trump is the devil.

Pathetic “news” site. They should be embarrassed.

That’s funny, I tried to type the word ‘never’ and it autocompleted as ‘nevertrump’. Just kidding.

Yahoo tends to have stories approving of gay people, celebrities doing some thing awful, or similar trash.

I only use them for email.

They let a pc woman run them awhile back, and now they are going bankrupt.

Well the problem with that approach is that there are 3-4 trolls for every one of “us”. So it’s kind of like a pissing in the wind deal. I don’t really think anyone with a functioning brain thinks these public comment sites sway any opinion, maybe I’m wrong.

I myself don’t try to converse much and for sure do not argue on these sites. I use them more to gauge the steady erosion of the average IQ out there. And it’s steep!

You may be right. I just went to the Washington Post site,where they have an obligatory Trump-bashing story titled “Ten Republicans Who Hate Trump the Most”. (It’s the usual suspects—Graham, Bush, et,al.) Interestingly, the comments were largely pro-Trump.

The MSM will go all out on this stuff. It may be that Trump is the only candidate that can go after the media head on and make it work. I hope so.

Yahoo has always been a liberal organization. Anything connected to Yahoo is blocked on all my computers, phone and iPad.

It depends a lot on what you search for. For example, if you search for anti trump stories, then you are more likely to see them in the newsfeed and in the side bar. I searched for IBS for example, for a friend who was sick, and now I get constant stories and ads for Irritable Bowl Syndrome. They tie to your IP address, your email address, or anything they can.

Yahoo mail was horrendous for spam and retailers. They had a good sports page until the UI redesign and it became literally unreadable. Had to be one of the worst ever redesigns. The news feed is now fraught with clickbait ads.

It's really a shame what the organization has become. Mayer has driven it into the ground.

They may be posting anti-Trump articles, but if you read the comment sections, the pro-Trump people are out in force.

I’m noticing that everywhere I go. The nastier the article about Trump, the more support he gets.

Yahoo has been shoveling anti-conservative, uber-liberal, social engineering, etc. for several years now.

It might as well be DU. I stupidly set up several email accounts there years ago. I hate what Yahoo has become.

Many of their other articles are about dead people. It is a depressing site.
It is like standing next to (Dead) People magazine at the checkout line at the store.
I only check it due to my email account I use when I buy stuff.

I’ve noticed that a lot of the time you can’t leave comments on stories praising bammy and the beast.
