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.

Been using Yahoo since I was in the Navy back in 2001. Always my first choice for round about news because I'd check my email and see what topics were hot. Ever since Trump got elected Yahoo switched gears and well full SJW Liberal Propaganda. Then users started calling them and the articles they choose to use in their feeds and as a response they completely took down their comments section citing "safety concerns" LOL I couldn't believe it. So once the comments went away there was literally zero reason to read articles.

Why would anyone let themselves be subjected to propaganda without a means for rebuttal. They were getting called out daily by readers and obviously found it wasn't good for businesses.

It's odd they would alienate their most prolific users by censoring comments. People may not have agreed with Yahoo's bias but at least they counted as impressions and clicks for advertisements. By removing comments, you just lost all these potential impressions. Must be getting their money from donors now. Shrugs. Makes no difference to me. Just don't use them anymore.

For the record, I believe they have EVERY right to remove comments and do whatever they want. It's their business. However, as customers, we all know WHY they were removed. To censor any opinions against their propaganda. The claim that it was for safety reasons was ludicrous at best. That's fine. I still use the email but I have ZERO incentive to use the news.

End of an era. RIP YAHOO 1994-2020

Yahoo "news": What a joke.
September 11, 2020

There is real journalism. Facts. Truth. And then there's Yahoo News. They deal in bias and an agenda versus journalism. Every article is seething with implicit bias and falsehood, even in 80% of the article titles themselves. They report on opinion and not truth. Then they wonder why no one likes them. People only read Yahoo News for the comments, but then because truth would come out in the comments (among other things) they got rid of comments to try to censor their agenda even more. If you can't disagree with them, it must be true, right? No one actually thinks Yahoo News is a good website or reporting. HAH. Look at the reviews. What a joke. BBC is where it's at.

One sided hate reporting
September 11, 2020

I'm sick of Yahoo news being one sided. Every article is an attempt to bash the president. I'm changing my home page for news on my work and home computers and devices. I can handle criticism of the president but every article I see that mentions him is an all out attempt to bash him. The one I read today had quotes from Biden in the middle of it even though it didn't concern him. I've had it. Goodbye Yahoo.

Everything on yahoo is pointed in a direction that stirs up hate and division. Yahoo is not reporting news it is a a agenda driven tool that says if you don't agree with there point of view your a racist ignorant fool. Yahoo constantly attacks any one who apposes there agenda with fluff garbage from sources like Huff they might as well use a comic book. Many of there stories come from bitter hateful sources that have no news value and are distorted garbage that a two year old can see through. Call your self a political agenda site not a news source. There are no true news sites left all are agenda driven to the right or to the left!

Pure Propaganda
September 8, 2020

Yahoo News had the audacity to remove comments from their news articles so they can spew pure lies with no criticism. The level of outright lies and propaganda this site pushes is amazing, hopefully one day soon, they will be held accountable for their negligence.

Yahoo. Is. Fake. Trash.
September 5, 2020

It is astounding that Yahoo is even still on the internet it is so obviously compromised with some liberal nazi that it's disgusting. I just saw and article saying that president trump inherited a good economy from Barrack Obama... and the article was about Covid. They do anything they can including getting rid of the comment section. But guess what? It's too late idiots. People are awake in 2020 so keep writing your fake articles like Regina George writing in her burn book. You are losers and will continue to lose in 2020. #TRUMP #Sleepyjoe #bye

I wish I hadn't signed up for yahoo email several years ago, too late to change now. Cant believe how biased their news articles are. Almost every single article is somehing blown out of portion about Donald Trump, and even his family. Then, if there is any negative news about the Democrats, they rarely report it, turn it around to make it positive, or move the story way down the list. No doubt the worst, most sensationalistic reporting anywhere. Avoid it all cost! When my Yahoo small business account ends, I will not renew.

ONE SIDED NEWS
September 2, 2020

While I am open to the opinions of others I can't stomach the opinions of Yahoo news. It's very clear they are anti-trump, anti-right, anti-American. And then removing the comment section on their website assures me that I am 100% right about them. They support terrorism through their stories about BLM and antifa. They don't want' to hear what we have to say unless it fits their agenda. This is the kind of stuff that makes matters worse for this nation. A nation that is doomed should people continue to follow such nonsense. Please wake up people and stop reading this garbage!

Extremely biased
August 31, 2020

A hard tilt to the left, what ever happened to neutrality in reporting, a lot of the articles are not researched, if you are going to do an article about guns don't confuse the name of gun parts or gun types. If you are doing an actual on BLM then at least mention actual crime statistics and put them in perspective. The list goes on, and finally in an effort to hide their total ineptness and political bias they remove their comments section so we can't call them out on it anymore.

Yahoo political news
August 31, 2020

Yahoo is extremely prejudice when it comes to political news. They portray a negative mindset in all their post which appears to lean to the extreme left. They are very good in taking things out of context and adding fake news perhaps to persuade their followers in believing things that are not in line with the facts.

All the news is politically biased, race baiting, and utter garbage. They strive to find articles from any news source they can to fit their liberal narrative. They've also taken away the ability to comment on anything. Im assuming because people kept calling them out. So much for freedom of speech.

Race baiting, junk articles based on opinion and not facts. They do not have any journalists. They have even turned off commenting on their articles so people can't correct them. It's almost like we are in North Korea and are being fed lies from the management. Shameful.

I am aware of Yahoo news because I have had an email account with yahoo for 30+ years. As a news source, yahoo has really gone downhill the past 4 or so years. It has become so politically biased that it is actually alarming. Basically I view yahoo's political news as sickening propaganda and I shudder at the thought of its effects on those who might believe in what was once truth in reporting. All I ask for or want in news reporting is accuracy and truth, but you will be hard pressed to find any semblance of veracity with a Yahoo news story.
Aside from its pathetic political reporting, the bulk of the rest of the yahoo news fare is made up of overly sensationalized opinionated, speculative rhetoric often missing some of the most basic fundamentals regarding the reporting of news, i. E., who, what, where, when and how. Yahoo News also seems to have become a mecca for "bait and click" stories which is all about steering its readers towards additional advertising. Yahoo News is a sad and embarrassing reality regarding truth in reporting.
