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.

Yahoo News is a JOKE
August 20, 2020

Yahoo news got rid of its comments section just before the election so they can continue to write their BIASED, leftist anti Trump articles and have no way for Americans to comments on them. Their "news" articles are so immature and ONE SIDED. They HATED that people could comment on their stupid articles. Now they can just spew their hate of Trump and no one can say anything. I stopped reading their GARBAGE.

The comments were the only part of Yahoo worth reading. The bias is so obvious that it casts doubt of the validity of all articles. It is hard to believe the sports section is written by an adult. WSJ is my new home page.

Last month, Yahoo cancelled the very popular comments section of their website, and first tried to blame it on technical difficulties, but when that didn't fly with readers, that devised a plan to blame it on the lack civility.
What Yahoo really did, was silence the voices in opposition of their flagrant fake news articles. If you were paying attention, you would notice the comments not only very critical of Yahoo propaganda, but were also 20 to 1 in favor of President Trump over Joe Biden.
In short, yahoo silence the readers voice, and if you look at their site now, it is nothing but far left propaganda articles based on fake and fabricated news. Yahoo is now a far left propaganda machine, that silences opposing opinions. CANCEL YAHOO!

Pure Garbage
August 18, 2020

Very biased news reporting. They got rid of their comments section so they could swing much further to the left just before the election. Total garbage. It's too bad, I used to like Yahoo news. I hope they lose all their readers.

Yahoo is total crap
August 18, 2020

Can not depend on any truth from these bozo's what so ever. They would tell a lie even if the truth would fit better. They are completely against President Trump to the point they are misleading readers.

Todays (Aug 17) Yahoo top story: "Worse to Come? Malaysia Detects New Coronavirus Strain 'DG14G' Which is 'Ten Times' Deadlier". In actuality, the "new" D614G strains (which Yahoo misspells as 'DG14G'), have been around since January, are already present in 70% of covid cases globally, and are already responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. Yahoo's (mis)leading news story is based off a facebook post they barely understand, and for which they had zero inclination to research before publishing.

The only reason I go on Yahoo is to get my email. The leftist garbage that they spew is just insufferable. They now have taken away the reaction / comments at the bottom of their articles because they don't always get the reactions that they want. Another leftist way of censoring conservative comments. Funny how that happened a few months before the election.

Yahoo has to be the worst ever news reporting platform in the whole world! So biased with the truth - it's a shame they cannot face the truth in any way, just would not admit that the so-called democrats are infallible, liars and unreliable. Anyway, I guess you cannot impose your views on people and think you can get away!

The price they "Make" you pay to use their email client is to see the titles of their so called news articles. I can't believe this is a Verizon product and is so vindictive. You'd think it was funded by the DNC. Yahoo News really needs to be rebranded Yahoo Leftest Talking Points

Yahoo bias
August 14, 2020

To bad yahoo wants to report news biased against conservative views. That is a reason why no one trusts news sources anymore. Shame on you for not just informing the people with facts only. This is how fake news sources earned their reputation
