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.

From the on-site comments, you can tell that most of the people who read Yahoo News do so because they pull up their homepage while checking their Yahoo mailbox. Most folks who use a Yahoo mail address do so because they signed up 15 or 20 years ago, when Yahoo Mail was "big." Instead of catering to their sensible, middle-aged readers, Yahoo News bombards them with the most far-left, irrational and stupid "news" you can find on the web. It's all Trump Derangement News (the HuffPost seems to be their most featured "source") and the latest from Kim Kardashian. Yahoo prohibits its readers from selecting the news feed that actually interests them. This seems like the most boneheaded business decision on the web, but I guess the folks who run this site are, indeed, a bunch of yahoos.

YAHOO NEWS IS TRASH
August 5, 2018

Yahoo news decides to use their opinions instead of facts when spreading 'news content.' they will say half the truth, the rest will be their opinion. And it's mostly opinionated $#*!s that dislike our President who have a job as a newswriter for this company. YAHOO NEWS IS TRASH. TRUMP 2020

Totally biased
July 14, 2018

Yahoo news is a joke; after reading several article articles about President Trump, it is obvious that Yahoo is totally negative about ANYTHING he or his family does. I finally realized that Yahoo News does not look at both sides of any situation with Trump. They enjoy talking negative about him. I'm finally believing that Yahoo News totally supports the left side only!

Anti white. Anti male. Anti conservative. Anti Trump and family or anyone associated with. Pro gay. Pro Obama. Pro hollywood. Pro liberal. Pro democrat. Pro black or any minority except asian. Pro UK and Royal Family. Pro female. Total biased trash with poorly skilled writers to peddle it out to the sheep. The one Really cool thing is that you can comment on articles. However, they do sometimes hide or delete your posts.

The worst
May 9, 2018

There is always two sides to every story. Yahoo is the worst and only focuses on the negative. They need to report the truth. The stupidity is overwhelming. This is why the country is so divided.

Yahoo! News is essentially a propaganda machine for the progressive liberal movement. As a long time user of Yahoo! I have finally come to the realization that its time to boycott them in their entirety.

So how many people want to see pictures of globs of smeared blood or piles of bodies featured in the headlines of Yahoo while trying to check their e mail and drink their morning coffee? Anyone? That was my experience this morning. Apparently Yahoo is operating under the premise that sensationalism appeals to the ignorant masses and will keep their interest long enough to send major cookie crumbs to the viewer. Their assorted nastiness and major bias is quickly wearing thin and sending long time subscribers scurrying to find other sources for their e mail and news. Heads up Yahoo, people are sick and tired or your opinionated biased offensive arrogant and very yellow rag news. One positive to 50-100 negative and biased stories has set the scales way off balance. Assuming the public will only read trashy rags is way beyond arrogant and ignorant.

Couldn't be more biased. So many Democratically run news sights that delete comments that don't side with there biased opinions. This is only adding to all the snowflake drama that is corrupting America.

Biased Yahoo News
October 15, 2017

I used to consider Yahoo News a reporter of the news, but now see that they are a reporter of their own bias. How sad not to be able to trust them!

Your recent posting of the PROTOCOLS of the British empire. WOW, this is just getting better. You democrats see nothing, hear nothing and know nothing, then you just make EVERYTHING UP. YOU see everyday as a protocol, "oh this isn't the way things are supposed to be done". Yah, right, that's EXACTLY WHY we are in the mess we are in and TRUMP has to get us out of it. YES I'M TALKING ABOUT NOBAMA, that man was and is as useless as adding mosquitoes to an already malaria infested area. Do EVERYONE A FAVOR, stop with your opinion and report the news, better yet JUST SHUT UP.

Their most recent demands that Ivanka Trump should have her security clearance revoked. Every fake news article is critical of the Trumps. And, their Gay agenda is over the top.

WOW, just look at the headlines and you know this website has its head in the sand. President Trump is doing great things for this country and Yahoo News just wants to see him crash and burn like all the other liberal liars out there. Pulling out headlines with no truth in them meant to scare people into abandoning the one true man left on America's side. Yahoo News should be ashamed.

Stories disappear
June 15, 2017

If you scroll thru the news stories and click on one to read, and want to comment on it, you have to log in. Then it takes you back to the main news feed and the story disappears so you can never find it nor comment on it!

No Difference
February 26, 2017

Yahoo is the stereotypical, mainstream, conservative hating news outlet that thinks joining in on the liberal media bandwagon agenda will keep the advertising $$ around and ultimately pay the shareholders. It's all about the dollar people.

I've been a Yahoo user from day one. I'm now switching everything to hotmail since I have to watch a commercial every time I want to look at quick news. Terrible!

I used to really enjoy reading Yahoo's news site. It was one of those places that I could find some interesting articles, and they send me down a rabbit trail of a couple of hours of reading!;-) Recently though, it seems like every headline that looks interesting ends up being a video. I don't want to watch a video! I want to read! Often I don't have sound handy at a school computer terminal, or I don't want to let my workmates know that I found an interesting news piece. Please bring back more articles, and I will spend more time reading them.

Yahoo news is basically boring and written by people who seem to live in a bubble. They are also 'sheeple'. People easily led.
