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.

You can clearly see that Yahoo "news", is not news at all. It's drama-filled, pot-stirring, one-sided garbage. The content of their "stories" are not factual and they do not depict both sides. It also "reports" on celebrities like they are people to look up to... it's disgusting that these fake lives that celebrities live are being glamorized by "media" like this. Yahoo is part of the PROBLEM... not at all a part of any solution that this country needs. Getting rid of my yahoo email and changing to gmail. This is a disgrace.

Other than the lack of content, I also find the journalists or editors of Yahoo News with a poor taste in writing.

I am in my late 60's and have always been a registered Democrat. I believed that Democrats were caring, fair people that only wanted the best for America. Well, my eyes have finally been opened. Before the last election, in fact before the parties had even selected their candidates, Yahoo and most of the other media outlets started bashing Trump and heavily promoting Hillary.

My problem was the reporting was mean spirited, viscious, hypocritical, and biased to the point of all-out propaganda. Nothing Hillary said was bad, including calling half of the country deplorables. Trump was savagely attacked about everything; if he had said "the sky was blue," Yahoo would have said "not here, it's gray and raining... and it's Trump's fault."

During the entire Obama administration, the media rightfullly said that we should respect the President and the office. Well, that was apparently a huge lie! Respect by the current DNC and their media allies, is reserved only for fellow Democrats. Sadly, this is miles away from the party I grew up with and loved for so long.

Please join me in trying to get this country back to mutual respect and block Yahoo news. And vote for Trump!

Yahoo has done nothing but post "news stories" that serve to exacerbate racial tensions. Yahoo just posted a story with a former NBA player's opinion who has a criminal record. Typical reporting from them!

Leftist Propaganda
June 10, 2020

Yahoo is anti Trump, anti white, anti Christian, anti Conservative, pro globalist, pro communist, pro socialist, pro LGBT trash. News stories are cherry picked, leaving out crucial details (thus equating to take news) to set their narrative.

How anyone can say that Yahoo is not that far left is baffling. Any further left and they would of the edge of their world. Utter garbage. Might as well be CNN.

Yahoo News made a big deal of retired General John Allen "dire warning" about Trump. Left out of the article was the fact that General Allen spoke at the Democratic Convention supporting Hillary Clinton and criticizing Trump at the convention also. Also, Genera Allen was Obama appointee. Interesting how American journalists at Yahoo News are propagandists same as Chinese reporters are paid to do, without any blush or remorse for their distorted "news" articles. I'm going to try the Epoch Times and see how truthful their reporter are.

I always go to yahoo for my news. But when I go to the link to read a story, ads pop up over the content and prevents me from finishing the piece. It also will not let me close the ad or scroll away from it. If this does not stop, I will use other websites for my news stories. Please stop! I don't care how much money you receive for allowing the ads - you are losing viewers.

Your homepage is dishonest - i realize you want to generate "click-bait" to show advertisers that people are reading your content - but I've now explored several articles and have concluded many or ALL of yahoo headlines are dishonest. Thus I've dediced NEVER to explore yahoo headlines. I though I'd mention this since your current disingenuous policies might hurt you in the long run - for I'm certain they will promote ill will towards yahoo in some readers- an example would be your mis leading head line in your lead story today, " How did we not figure out this would have helped?" - Overall I am angered at Yahoo for wasting my time and have resolved NEVER to click through on a Yahoo story - again i tell you this so that you may not offend future readers (too late for me) and that you may protect your future reputation and advertising revenues.

Yahoo "news" is a steady stream of poorly written left wing propaganda that does not even remotely approach the truth or any credibility. The articles are so far to the left no sane person would believe anything contained within them and the writing so poor that it appears to be composed entirely by first year college students

Its not news... its Liberal writers opinions. Just another one sided news source. One comment I read here says they lean left a little... lmao... I think that is the understatement of the year. Social media and any media that writes like yahoo is to blame for dividing this country.

Only trusted by liberals and communists who hate America. Nothing has ever been so agenda-driven towards communism and socialist policies. Disgusting the way they farm stories out to 3rd world countries when they cant find anything negative to repost in the US news. Pathetic, and I think anyone that works at Yahoo should be sent to prison for life.

Every single article I read from Yahoo news just bashes President Trump. Whatever happened to the days of unbiased news reporting? Everyone has an opinion. I am not interested in opinions. I am interested in facts. Obviously, Yahoo has an agenda. This has destroyed any credibility Yahoo news may have ever possessed.

No Credibility
April 10, 2020

Yahoo News displays so much progressive bias, their articles can no longer be considered journalism. It's hard for me to believe that any of their contributors have ever taken any journalism ethics courses. Most articles are about creating a narrative as opposed to presenting facts.
