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.

Propagandoo!
August 13, 2020

If you're looking to find real news, stay far away from Yahoo as it's nothing but tabloid trash full of propaganda fake news to brainwash the masses, covering everything from fake political news, to the fake hoax virus, to fake new outer space discoveries, to fake new dinosaur discoveries, along with daily front page articles about Kelly Ripa and her family and other phony celebrities. Furthermore, they've currently have the comments section disabled to suppress freedom of speech which was the only legitimate reason to visit Yahoo and look at their so called "news" articles!

The headlines are all very "Gocha" headlines, incredibly left leaning almost to the point of a child's taunt.
In fact calling them left leaning is not fair at all to the left, they are yellow journalist through and through,
Yahoo feeds off of fear and helps grow hate with their knee jerk reaction stories.
And now they have disbanded comments to ensure that people can not go and look at real new stories.

Complete Garbage
August 4, 2020

Yahoo news is a completely one sides, ad driven, conjecture/pundit driven entertainment out let that claims to be news. I have noticed it is very very left leaning with nothing, but negativity that doesnt support the democrat point of view. I have also noticed they completed miss current events if it goes against the opinions of the democrat party. Just because they print it doesnt make it so. Wish I had a way to port my e-mail address so I didnt have to look at the all the garbage on a regular basis.

I have known for years that the news stories are one sided and bias. I truthfully only read some of the news stories to see the comments just to confirm that the world is not all gullible and believing the crap they would post as news. Seeing so many others seeing through the BS, gave me hope in humanity. Now that they have removed the ability for comments and basically flat out made the decision to Kill Freedom of Speech... I have replaced my homepage. Don't even want to see a headline.

What a waste of space. If I could get to Yahoo mail without seeing the inane click-bait -based pieces by contributors who seem to have no qualifications other than having a keyboard. This is what the world is coming to. Opinions shaped by bias, nicked from other sources, by people we cant know or trust, on completely inane subjects, spoon fed to the masses as actual news. Yahoo should be ashamed. A blank page would be more informative.

Everyday their newsfeed has to contain one or two anti-trump, bashing pieces and articles trying to villify anyone on the right who does not fit in with their far left political agenda.

True leftist fashion... No comments section now so no one can disagree with the completely biased and inept writers. All that's left are terrible articles and leftist rants littered with hypocrisy.

Yahoo news is a complete waste of time. Nothing on their site is worth reading much less giving any kind of credence to for accuracy. It's like their "reporters" read the headlines of other news agencies or worse yet hashtags off Twitter to make up their stories.
Yahoo news is biased diatribe that barely attempts to hide its ludicrous conclusions. What Yahoo News does to the truth is criminal. Calling it news is lunacy.

Leftist media lies.
July 30, 2020

Yahoo always has the most leftist anti american opinions I have ever seen in the media. They should not be allowed to express their opinions when there is no truth to most any of it.

Frankly Yahoo News has always been left-leaning garbage, but recently they decided to ramp up their fake news efforts by disabling comments because everyone keeps $#*!ting all over their awful news coverage and they don't seem to like it. I find it convenient that they've decided to remove all opposition 100 days before the election. Clever, and evil. The use of vague and opinion based verbiage is appalling. "Could, might, perhaps, sources, unnamed sources, sources close to, if" these are all buzzwords that show that Yahoo is not an objective source and should not be relied upon to deliver fact-based news. It's pervasive and it's the worst kind of subversion of out rights and freedoms.

Leftist absurdity
July 29, 2020

Anyone with average intelligence and an iota of objective reasoning skills could not read a typical' day of Yahoo's news stories and not see it's laughable bias. It is not news, it"s misinformation. Chalk full of cherry picked articles - mostly written by 22 year olds - to support an
Obvious woke' agenda, they scan the nation for the most minute, trivial, nonsense to support their patently transparent narratives. There isn't a brain cell in your head if you can't see, as plain as day, how laughably ridiculous Yahoo news is.

Barr hearing
July 28, 2020

Just read the article loaded onto Yahoo "news" and I use the word "news" lightly. States it was written by the Washing Post on the Barr hearing. What a load of crap. This is why the statement "fake news exists" They make him sound like a laky for Trump. The people who are overwhelmingly partisan are the Dems that wouldn't even allow Barr to answer. Try telling the truth on these articles instead of biased opinions, maybe the ratings wouldn't be so low!

Misleading, race baiting garbage. They realized people blast their ridiculous reporting tactics in the comments and have now disabled them. The comment section was the only place in Yahoo news that you could get any semblance of common sense.

Yahoo News is absolute garbage. It's been running the same story about twins who married the same man every day since the pandemic started. Every other story is intended to create a conflict between political factions but always spins the stories in a liberal leftist manner. Yahoo News has consistently tried to twist the truth in a way that benefits the left. Yahoo wants race relations to crumble and deteriorate into a nation wide race war. Yahoo News has recently removed the ability to comment on the stories in the reactions section. This removal of commenting is an obvious attempt to silence any reader that disagrees or debunks their lies. Yahoo News deserves -5 stars or at least zero stars due to their obvious left side biased agenda. Apparently Yahoo News wants to destroy America from within by inciting race riots and exaggerated political conflict. I will never read Yahoo News again. I will also change my email so I do not support Yahoo's actions.

I've been a user of Yahoo! Since the very beginning (25 years) and have watched their news service go from a trusted, objective and honest news organization in the 90's to a heavily agenda based propaganda machine today. The reporters lead with inflammatory headlines and editorialize the report leaving out key facts or outright ignoring them altogether. The Yahoo! Reporters also seem to inject their own bias and emotions into the articles as well instead of focusing and reporting the facts. It was also entertaining to see that much of this journalistic hypocrisy was being called out more and more in the now disabled comments section with actual readers adding facts clearly omitted by the author, calling out their journalistic integrity or linking to more accurate reports.
