Google slants their headlines in the same manner. Even if the articles below contradict them. It is very effective.

Interesting thought, but if you look at the MSM they cater too, it's slanted liberal regardless of the voting.
Hence, they're referencing the Main Stream Media which has be demonstrated to be liberal by definition.

Which has been...........grrrrrrrr.
Dyslexic fingers.

Who reads Yahoo news? And so what, if readers play around with the rating system. If you want to fly a conspiracy theory, you're going to have work harder.
To: Smartaleck
So, are you saying it's immaterial to worry about influencing the votes in a conservative manner because the MSM (Reuters, AP, La Times) are liberal-skewed anyway?
You could still create an appearance that those articles are unpopular by voting against them.
To: Gingersnap
Actually, it's NOT a conspiracy theory in the slightest. Why don't you go to http://www.news.yahoo.com yourself to insantly see the extreme number of votes for liberal-leaning stories like defaming Bush and the Iraq war?

I stopped reading Yahoo news...waaaaay to liberal for me. Look at their news contributers, that tells the lean of yahoo news.

Google slants their headlines in the same manner. Correct.
Where Google does their best news slanting is in their preset hyperlinks like "In the News" where you can find names making news.
The next time you see a Google hyperlink set up for "George W Bush," the punks at Google will have every negative Bush headline they can find highlighted leading that topic, and that's just about every topic.
At the moment, Google does not have 'George W Bush' in the 'In the News' section.

Regardless of the glaring skew of Yahoo, doesn't anyone here think it's worth it to "fight back" by rigging the votes of Yahoo articles in a favorable manner to Bush, the war, and just conservative aims in general?
To: binladenforkerry
Usually on line polls are not worth the time.

I'm sure plenty of conservatives vote similarly, but I do note a preponderance of libs in the ratings.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.
In future trolling endeavors, try laying it on not quite so thick.

Nope.
Let the Libs play their games.
The Dan Rather CBS memogate showed THINKING people that the press cannot be trusted.

Yahoo News is all the AP news wire, in any event.
And Socialists are beyond reasoning with, so why waste the bandwidth?
