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 spun to excite the slow minded dim witted left of the population. I haven't read a honest news article yet from Yahoo. If you were to only get news from Yahoo then you could possibly be one of the dumbest people in the country. Mix Yahoo news with parts of the population that have been overly fluoridated then there is definitely major problems. I think that the leftist bias news wants to start another civil war. It's scary when your looking from the outside of this indoctrination.

Yahoo's home page is mostly trash. Tabloid rubbish with anti-Trump opinions. It's not real news. I have a yahoo mail acct. And lately try to skip over the home page as quickly as I can. Its headlines attract gossips and sensational-story lovers as well as people who enjoy reading about murders and child abuse.

How anyone can still believe that a virtual rag mag like this is "balanced" is beyond logic or sanity. Even (discerning) democrats are finally waking up to the fact that the media is grossly skewed to the left. It used to be a joke, now it's mind numbing propaganda.

Democratic propoganda
April 15, 2019

Almost every political article is severely slanted toward the liberal view to the point it is not news it is propaganda. It is disgusting that they paint our president as someone evil and dishonest and everyone liberal is like a saint. I keep turning it off all day long as they turn it back on. What ever happened to reporting the facts and let the readers make up their own mind. Yahoo has hired a bunch of young socialists to run their propaganda dept and no one is keeping a leash on them. They have ruined yahoo news!

Yahoo used to be a decent source of news and information a decade or so ago. Now, it's more like a click-bait, trash bin of gossip in inaccurate news reporting. Even the sports section is terrible. If you enjoy articles like "Pam Anderson Slams Congress" as your front page news, Yahoo might be a good fit for you.

Leans to the left even if the truth has to be butchered for the sake of what looks like some sort of leftist agenda. Intellectually dishonest to an extreme degree. Take everything out of context or straight up lie and to force Yahoo news opinions into what they are showing. It is a disgrace and to lie to this extend should be condemned by every person who has at least some morality in them.

Yahoo = fake news
March 31, 2019

Yahoo constantly pushes political commentary as real news. Anything negative they can dream up against conservatives is posted like it's real. Lol

Yahoo articles are the lowest form of garbage there is. They consist of copy paste comments taken from Social meda, most often Twitter of Instagram, and there is usually a few line from the "author" of the article to go along with it.

Its absolute trash.

Yahoo has downgraded from credible News stories to less than Tabloid rubbish. Any random scroll through has lessened to standard celebrity "gossip" and fake news that somehow still receives numerous clicks. They obviously fired their prime editors long ago, as half the daily headliners contain typos or grammar errors. "New Cat Litter Everyone In Talking about" (I think they meant 'Is'), "Royal Duchess Founding New Outdoor Look" (Um, Founding...? Not sure what that means).

The "news" is either hyper political or politically biased, in addition to celebrity nonsense and sponsored content.

No balance in their news
February 15, 2019

I am a moderate, but find Yahoo news to be very unbalanced not only leaning left, but FAR LEFT. I enjoy fantasy sports and other Yahoo features, but news articles are biased and negative at least 2/3 of the time. I wish they would also report positive things instead of sensationalizing negative events.

What happened to Yahoo news? Their headlines roll out utterly disconnected from the stories, their stories run ideologically 90-95% lopsided, their writers and editors are asleep on structure and cogent theme. I can't even stand to visit the top site any more. It's like it's a campaign propaganda dump for promoting the tenets of the Socialist Party of America.

I would give this 0 stars if that was an option. This site is little more than a hate-filled vilification of all non-woke politicians or, for that matter, anyone who supports a non-adversarial and evolutionary approach to resolution of our issues as a nation. It shamelessly promotes extreme left wing narratives even after they have been shown to be lies and take no position against those responsible for those lies or those who sow division through promotion of radical and divisive policies.

This goes beyond yellow journalism and those who write these articles and select them for publication on this site should refer to themselves as what they are - ideological propagandists in the tradition of Pravda. Funny how policies against misleading information only seem to cut one way. If the lies promote a particular political agenda, then they seem to be fit to print in the eyes of the Yahoo editorial staff. These folks are a disgrace and promote hate within America.

One would think that Yahoo would be a safe sight!? Hell no! I clicked on a story about some ED pills that the company was endorsed by a famous actor. I fell for it and 30 days later 200$+ was taken out of my bank account. Why does huge company like Yahoo allow this crap? I think Yahoo should be liable for all links they allow on their web sight!

Horrible Left Wing Dross
October 29, 2018

Awful leftist dross and lies, always skewing the facts and delivering trash to Americans. Anti-Trump, anti-American, it is unbelievable that they pass for actual news. Puts traditional American news service to shame, zero integrity. Completely slanted, at least they could provide an opposing viewpoint but no it is always left.

Difficulty and frustration
September 28, 2018

It is a very painful experience being invited by a headline, finding the teaser and thenhaving to find the NEXT button to continue the story,,,, It seems it is all about advertising and not the news story. Also we dont all have the liberty of reading such a bunch of unrelated subjects. Seriously it is insulting and frustrating...
