Liberals Using Yahoo News To Forge Impersonation Of Wide Support For Liberal-Slanting News Articles
N/A ^ | N/A | N/A

Posted on 09/30/2004 11:44:34 AM PDT by binladenforkerry

I've a little suggestion for all the members of this group as well as any other lurkers reading these messages. It may not be obvious to you group members, but the Yahoo News portion of this website is being diabolically MANIPULATED by liberal operatives. Seriously, while this may sound a bit far-fetched or severe, liberals are notorious for stooping towards lower and more misbehaving tendencies. Have any of you group members ever visited the Yahoo News site, especially the following three sections: Presidential Elections, Iraq In Transition, and Reader Ratings?

I of course highlight this to you because of a catastrophically worrisome situation developing in those three section of Yahoo News. As some of you who've read the articles on Yahoo News know, there are always ratings at the bottom of each article, which Yahoo invites the signed-in Yahoo user to vote on. It is in this perilous feature of Yahoo's misjudged and unwary design that liberal operatives--probably jobless and with nothing but time on their hands--take advantage of Yahoo's design flaw.

You see, what the stealthy liberals do--and from reading news on Yahoo for a while, I've observed this--is they schemingly work together for the entire day to rig the votes of stories that are in their liberal partialities' favor, a flimsily easy danger to accomplish, what with all the news providers on Yahoo being either Reuters, AP, AFP or the LA Times! These dishonestly voted-up articles then appear on Reader Ratings, which is these liberal schemers' goal. The point is that stories that are about ridiculing or defaming Bush or the Iraq war; praising Kerry; feeble environmental or conservational angles; certain kinds of election machines or methods being disputed; soldiers dying or standing trial for misconduct; and Iran or North Korea purportedly developing nukes are being unrelentingly and fraudulently VOTED UP by these shady liberal manipulators who stupidly assume that they can chicane people who view their illegitimate votes to think that those liberal-originated articles are more credible than they really are.

These jobless, unambitious and otherwise house-bound liberal annoyances also harshly vote up pictures of their detestably asinine liberal causes so that they appear in Reader Ratings for publicity. Examples of pictures they unofficially voted up are Kerry's and Edwards' pictures, lots of pictures of Iraq bomb attacks, pictures of "poor" Palestinian and Iraqi "victims" of violence, etc..

My proposal is an encouragement to all group members who read my message to take a few minutes out of your day to visit the Yahoo News site and go to those three sections highlighted above: Presidential Elections, Iraq in Transition and Reader Ratings. Once there, counteract this liberal menace by voting with a 1 rating on those said stories they've guilefully voted up; if need be, create a few more Yahoo IDs to maximize your voting power.

If members of this group, together with members of other conservative, anti-liberal groups, just make it a point to venture daily to Yahoo News and vote on said stories that the liberals have propagandistically voted up, you can help to greatly reduce the wicked liberals' scheme to fabricate pro-liberal propaganda on the seemingly innocuous Yahoo News site. If this seems horrific to you because it's surprised you, please consider this. Liberals are able to oppressively dictate the false appearances of a news story's "popularity" by this sinister tactic. I appeal to all members of this group to unify to crush those hateful liberals' devious strategy to misdirect other readers about a pro-liberal story's popularity. Please, folks; if you all do your own little share of voting down a liberal story's ratings a few times during the day in those three sections, we can crumble another liberal attempt at propaganda. If this seems silly to you, consider this: the liberal threats are getting away on Yahoo News with YET ANOTHER liberal ploy to subvert the silent majority's beliefs.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Anyone weak-minded enough to be swayed by a Yahoo-news rating of a story is already a Liberal who will vote for Kerry regardless.

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?

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.

Yahoo News is all the AP news wire, in any event.

And Socialists are beyond reasoning with, so why waste the bandwidth?
