Yahoo Users Fed Steady Diet of Liberal Headlines If Yahoo users knowledge of the world, or at least the U.S. political and social scene, were limited to what they see on Yahoo, they would conclude that America is a pretty liberal place.
Whenever Internet users turn on their computers and go to the Internet, and use Yahoo for their e-mail, they are treated to a daily dose of articles slanted against conservatives, Christians, Republicans, and above all, President Donald Trump. Of course, this is not to say that the majority of individuals who make use of Yahoo to access their e-mail actually read these daily left-wing diatribes, but it is very difficult to miss the headlines.
The headlines are almost always from more liberal websites, such as the Huffington Post, and are written in such a way as to convey a certain message a liberal or progressive message. It goes without saying that conservative-leaning news website articles rarely appear on Yahoo. I have never seen an article used from The New American, but then again, I may have missed it.
On Wednesday, Halloween day, a review of those headlines reveals what a reader will see on a typical day.
President Trumps announcement that he intends to get rid of birthright citizenship predictably produced several articles, with the common theme that Trump cannot legally do what he wants to do. Although there are many articles out there that make the case that the 14th Amendment does not grant automatic citizenship to a person simply because he happens to born on the soil of the United States, you will not find them on Yahoo.

Yet the funny thing is, on almost all of these articles I bother to read, the comments are heavily, heavily skewed conservative. Some even make fun of Yahoo and the article’s author for the slanted story.
It’s pretty remarkable. Sometimes it seems I’m reading comments here on FR, except the posters on Yahoo are as witty as those here.
When reading “Yahoo” just say “Verizon” as Verizon is their owner and corporate policy controller.
And if you start to think Verizon is not in on the same political agenda as Google and Facebook, then why do you think the Verizon subsidiaery controlling YaYoo and AOL was named “Oath”.
Yep. One of the great mysteries of the Internet. The right wing yahoo commenters. Never fails.
Because it’s an easy-to-remember, catchy pseudo-mnemonic for “online authentication”.
I thought Yahoo died in the great tech Dot-Com bubble.
This began on my email about 2 weeks ago. I get about 4 a day. I just delete them. Haven’t read a single one, as I know Yahoo News is extremely left wing.
No Kidding
No different than MSN, NYT, CNN, Politico, Facebook...
One big liberal echo chamber.
The “Pocket” app that is integrated into Firefox also just pushes left-wing media.
Yep. It’s disgusting how biased they are.
Yahoo news is an oxymoron.
I go through the Yahoo page when I get a chance and click on the few pro-conservative stories I can find - hoping probably in vain to drive home the message that there are a few out here who want those stories and not just reprints of Huffington Post.....
I’ve been a Yahoo/AT&T email subscriber since 2004. At one time I formed a whole news page of middle of the road (WSJ) and conservative sites. Slowly the choice declined as Yahoo declined. I haven’t paid attention to Yahoo news for 10 years or more.
I go to FR, Patriot Post email, Spectator, Pajama Media and Washington Examiner for conservative views. I keep up with the liberal headlines from major news outlets. I like to see what false premises they are using.
The brains of LIBS are known to be maladjusted and malfunctioning mush. They must be massaged in order to even function at the level of that of a microbe. Sad...but true. Yahoo “news “ meets that requirement .
Doesn’t Katie Couric run the news department over there?
If you look at the posted comments on, for example the Finance page, the are always about “why do you keep shoving liberal political stories on the Finance Page? Where is the Finance News”. I guess the way ads are scored doesn’t care what presented.
So I quit Yahoo.
Yeah - I use Yahoo Finance purely to get a quick peek at basic Market activity and Oil...always a lot of articles moaning that nobody panicked when the Market took the recent dive, or that the trump tax-cut stimulus hasn’t made companies spend everything they go....I never read more than the headlines to see what the WSJ is probably also preaching these days....
