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.

In reviewing Younkin's opinion and some parents' opinions on Critical Race Theory, Yahoo news only mentioned the imisinformed idea that it teaches white kids to "be ashamed of being white." This is ridiculous, biased and ignorant. CRT is a theory which can be presented along with other theories and in fact is not offered in Virginia schools. CRT explores racism through the lense of laws and scholarship. It is an academic approach to teach the endemic way racism plays a role in all our lives. It does not teach our kids to hate themselves. Does teaching the Holocaust teach kids to hate themselves for being Christian?

Yahoo blocks and terminate your account when your comments are in line with their propaganda. Also they cant stand different view or ideas, reminds me of tyrants and totalitarians.
Basically Yahoo is a propaganda machine for the socialist media, they lie to their audience, and if you call on it, they block you. How dumb and stupid people can be to even look at this site.
Every news article is presented with their social view and propaganda spin. No wonder they are at the bottom of the pit.
Dont wast your time reading their crap

Yahoo Tabloid Style News
October 24, 2021

They do not review their sources and frequently make mistakes. They quote only sensational items that will try to draw people in to their sight so they can sell ads for products that are shady at best. They removed all comments to remove any partiality in their reporting. Truly a tabloid.

They won't write about what is really happening. A waste of time and misleading, most articles are so obvious that they are laughable. They are šūdas.

No News is No News
October 18, 2021

Yahoo news is useless. It's full of opinion pieces designed to create division and sow discord. It is not written for critical thinkers. They discontinued their comments because most comments didn't fit their narrative. I would rate it a zero if I could.

Horrible news topics, inept writers and an overall mockery to what a news site should be. Who comes up with this junk? Are these people payed to research the same stories over and over again? Even the comments have been disabled. Most likely due to the negative reactions of the majority of people reading these ‘news' stories which is just gibberish vomited forth by blank, vacant morons sitting in front of their computers.

Junk News
September 13, 2021

Yahoo offers sensationalized information to illicit the response they want. Radical left. The intent is to be divisive and create anger and hate. Doesn't even deserve to be called news.

Fake news
September 11, 2021

Biden is losing badly so Yahoo is creating lies to defend him. They wrote 2 articles that FOX NEWS and NEWSMAX TV support Bidens vaccine mandate. That is not true they are opposed to it. They are the republicans and they do not support the mandate. Garbage propaganda news

The site is constantly persenting a narrative that white people are bad, men are bad, and anything even remotely pushing a traditional narrative is bad.

The site constantly pushes the idea of non-monogous relationships and then runs stories that relationships are failing because of men and racism.

It absolute trash!

I can't even give them credit for trying to be a propaganda machine. They do it so poorly. It is so blatantly obvious that it makes you cringe to even see the headlines.

There was a time that they at least attempted to show a balance in views. That ended when they stopped allowing comments. For those that don't remember the comments of the articles were overwhelmingly negative and usually tore apart the articles credibility. I still use them for e mail but otherwise consider the site to be propaganda, a step below fake news.

Has anyone considered that this nonsense is why a radical right exists?

Another great argument that the two party system in the USA no longer works. The press is controlled by a left wing that gives no moderate option. The last election was not a mandate but an acknowledgement of how far out of touch the Dem party is if the likes of Trump could get so much of the popular vote.

Please fire your staff and hire journalists. Owners please get out of the newsrooms.

Stories are unreadable
August 28, 2021

I've had Yahoo as a homepage for 40yrs. Your stories are unreadable. Ads make the page jump and there is a NEXT button after virtually every paragraph. You click next and wait a few minutes for the page to try to get through the ad pop ups. Life expectancy in the US doesn't give me enough time to do this. I simply look at the ad headline. If it is interesting, I GOOGLE it and go to a site where it is readable to read the story. That sounds like a lot to do, but trust me, it is faster than trying to read it on your site. I know... you read this and say... Wow We didn't know that this was this bad... Don't change a thing... Let's Go To Lunch...! A Fish rots from the Head down.

You can't trust any news articles on yahoo. The writers are not journalists they are opinion writers that lean every story to the far left. They never write about democratic mistakes that are fact, like the junkie Hunter Biden.

How far they have fallen! For years Yahoo was my daily source, now it's just a parody that we click on now and then for a chuckle. Quality of writing and clarity is shockingly bad. Every writer seems to be drawing from the same tightly straight-jacketed leftist well. Hmm, maybe in reality there is only one writer. And it seems the downhill slide has accelerated since they banned the public from making comments. But, like the wolf who can't stop licking the frozen blood-encrusted blade even after his tongue artery gets severed, we already know the litany of excuses we'll be reading in their obituary - so sad, really.

Don't call THIS news!
August 4, 2021

I have tried everything to stop the celebrity news from showing on the main Yahoo News which automatically shows up when checking email. I don't want any news forced in my face every day, especially the celebrity crap that Yahoo decides to put out. This is another good example of our sad American society. Please consider letting the people who want to see naked celebrities search it out for themselves, don't force it on those of us who prefer not to.

I avoid Yahoo, but read an article about the Chicago Bears quarterbacks there. They never mention that Nick Foles, a former SB quarterback, is the 3rd quarterback. An ESPN article discussed Foles situation and was a much better article. Yahoo articles are poorly written. And the website is full of clickbait. Journalism at its lowest.

Yahoo News manufactures fake propaganda, they do not report the news. I'm not sure how they are getting away with making up fake news.
