Yahoo News Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of Yahoo, particularly its news segment, is significantly marred by perceptions of bias and lack of credibility. Customers frequently express concerns about the platform's political leanings, describing it as heavily biased towards leftist views and criticizing its editorial choices as unprofessional and propagandistic. Additionally, the removal of the comments section has led to dissatisfaction, as users valued the interactive discourse it facilitated. While some long-term users maintain their email accounts for practical purposes, the general sentiment reflects a growing discontent with the perceived quality and integrity of Yahoo's news reporting.

Common Sense would suggest that one should Never post Such Hateful, Hurtful and Slanderous articles about a Billionaire and his loved ones. I use the word Slanderous because the First Amendment does not protect the writer from writing untruthful articles. A Firm could easily be contracted that can research each article with the writers name boldly and proudly stamped atop - and one by one bring them to justice. As well as the persons that have approved and allowed such slanderous articles to be printed.

Rampant Bias
January 7, 2021

Yahoo wasn't always as biased as they have increasingly become. No longer allowing individuals to voice their opinions to extremely biased news reports is proof they are a one-sided news outlet. I want a news outlet that will report the news as it happens and not with their biased views, just the real news and let me make my informed decision. We are no longer allowed to have our own opinions or will be shut down. If I could review using less than 1 star I would do that.

One sided news
January 6, 2021

Very obvious your opinions are to the left of left! When BLM and ANTIFA destroyed city and burned down police stations in your eyes these were peaceful? Come on Yahoo you suck! And you will not let anyone express their views and you think you are fair? BS

When delving into today's news stories, it seems, too often, that the meaning of objectivity has been lost and the craft of observing and reporting facts without bias is practically nonexistent. Unfortunately, Yahoo News has proven to be no exception.

We as a people need to make the word news hold value, a value that yahoo hasnt had in over a decade. Its so bad at misinformstion, it blocks their comment boards anytime they are running a mass misinformation campaign, not even allowing the commentors to blatantly call out their lies and bias, a normality among the platform.

Yahoo "News" seems to show absolutely zero interest in restoring the ability to comment on their articles. Their left-bias was evident to anybody with a functioning brain. You'll notice that it wasn't just NEW comments they limited - they also killed the ability to read comments posted years ago.
It's blatantly obvious that Yahoo "News" couldn't care less about "creating a safe and engaging place for users to connect" (how can you when they're blocking you from CONNECTING and ENGAGING?), and that their primary interest is not being called out as the propaganda-pushing liberal mouthpieces they indeed ARE... by anyone with even the smallest mote of objectivity... two seconds after they post yet another hit-piece on anything remotely pro-conservative.

At first yahoo claims fox news is all fake news, but yet Yahoo continues to put fox news on their home page. This is why people are becoming divided. Trump makes a mess of the world and yet we still have fox news making more of a mess by reporting Trumps lies. Yahoo needs to be more supportive for those of us that voted for Biden and believe that this world can change from bad to good. Yahoo lay off fox news and their lies.

Left of Liberal
December 17, 2020

The liberal bias of Yahoo makes me want to puke. Liberals, backed by Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Twitter are destroying this country with conservative lies and burying anything negative about liberals. Black lives Matter, defund the police, high taxes, anyone with a brain needs to run to the republican party while we still have a country.

Anti-American news, everthing they say is so negative toward our president. They always promote hate and anti-American way of life. I will not read anything from Yahoo news and the lying media. Our forefathers would have had
charge them with treason and put them in prison.

I also went on there to mainly read the comments. And I noticed that more and more even the leftist folks were bashing Yahoo as BS. They too were sick of clicking on headlines negative toward the right and getting "bait-and-switched", getting to last paragraph and reading something like..."well, ok maybe the headline wasn't REALLY true...".
What a JOKE of a newsfeed. Supposedly they use algorithms to pick their articles. Yeah... 9500 employees there and not one helps pick the articles?!

Checked the news headlines today and there's six different stories about bikinis/other risque clothing where there should be news headlines. And while Yahoo provide you with an option to provide feedback, they don't, unfortunately, provide you with an option to submit that feedback. All that was achieved was getting frustrated and having to look elsewhere to find actual news. My score is zero out of infinite.

Yahoo is a dump
December 8, 2020

I used to like yahoo for the free email and occasionally read the news. BUT now all I see is fake news by bunch of crazy liberals. Why? How did this happen? Yahoo News is now a dump. Just like California and Seattle. Bunch of liberals repeating lies and thinking people will believe. Actually some stupid people do like Mary L. Who says trump makes a mess of the world. Like what exactly? Can someone be specific? I see myself as politically neutral. WHY? Why does the mainstream media only talk bad about one party and make the other party look like a saint? ALL politicians are corrupt. Especially Biden. Why cover for him? If Trump or Biden did something wrong, I want to see them behind bars!
