Imagine that—NOT. The Yahoo homepage is as biased as the major networks and cnn all put together.

Anybody who uses Yahoo and pays attention has seen a massive increase in content advocating Obama’s political positions since she came in.

I won’t use the Yahoo Finance page anymore. I want news, not opinion. It insults my intelligence that they believe I have to be told this junk. The Finance page was for serious people.

No longer.

What's interesting about Yahoo is they're as left as left can be, however if you read the comments section on articles there is a plethora of RIGHT and INDEPENDENT thought.

I keep wondering if this is a model for them. Does Yahoo rely on the reality the majority of it's poster's views are center right of their own liberal/progressive views and bias?

That's just smart business sense!

Yeah, this explains a lot. Yahoo’s bias is getting blatant.

I used to look at Yahoo once in a while, but I haven’t even gone to their homepage once in the last five years. I was never able to understand what Yahoo’s function or reason for being was. To me, their homepage looked like it kind of reproduced the sort of content that was on AOL’s homepage back in the day.

I don’t need an aggregator.

There’s no denying that Marissa is cute, though.

She's pregnant, I hear. I hope it's not a re-run of "Rosemary's Baby." In her defense, a lot of otherwise intelligent Californians have major groupthink in politics. It's a tough tide to swim against.

For all those who are commenting about how Yahoo went left years ago and implying it was this ladies doings.. Uhm - she just became the CEO a couple months ago.

Yes she is pregnant.

She hales from GOOGLE where she was one of the early employees. Yes she is on the left.

What a surprise. She is from Silicon Valle, Worked at Google and she’s on the left - wonder of wonders.

Yahoo finance used to be the “it” page in my work circles. I was asking myself when it fell out of favor and it was...four years ago!

I post this at every Yahoo news item. I never fail to get a few thumb-ups.
