Every day, more than once, I log on to the Internet. My homepage is Yahoo. There I see the headlines of the day. . . from everywhere, except from the more conservative papers. One headline after another bashes Trump, often before he can even say what they are criticizing him for saying. It is nauseating, indeed, dizzying. A constant drumbeat of negativity.
Now, I know Google was involved in Obama's campaign. I know that Time-Warner (which owns CNN) is Clinton's 6th largest donor. But, this selective editing, these sins of omission when there are so many conservative papers with better headlines that could be displayed, these diatribes that flood not just the Internet, but the major means of news delivery for most people . . . places like Yahoo News . . . . is simple frightening. My cell phone news ap is no better (if anything, it's worse).
Yes, OK. Welcome to Brave New World. Or is it more Orwell than Huxley? But, I repeat: Who owns Yahoo News?
A mega conglomeration of liberals.
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?
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.
