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.

Misleading
February 25, 2021

Yahoo is extremely MISLEADING. Phony headlines, stories that never get to the point, doctored pictures and the list goes on and on. Yes, they took away the comment section because they are trying to stop the bullying but isn't lying to the readers another form? Yahoo is very hypocritical and part of the problem. I'm done with them and do not plan on reading anything more they have to put out. If more of us do this, we could put Yahoo out of business.

It would be sad if people are influenced by Yahoo's biased and sensationalized home page. Those who lean left politically get their views validated by Yahoo daily with click bait headlines of liberal righteousness. Headlines of liberals having to "school" conservatives. All the better if the righteous victims are minorities suffering the evils of systemic racism that seems pervasive in American society. I would think that a moderate or free thinking person can see right through the sophomoric writing style that Yahoo delivers for the propaganda that it is. I have an open mind. If Yahoo were to improve, presenting news in a fair and honest way, I would then acknowledge their effort.

People who take yahoo news literally are not really serious about forming a well thought out opinion. Garbage in, garbage out. All their sources are left wing media puppets, (however they occasionally post news articles from the National Review or Fox news just to try and subliminally legitimize their context). It's just a charade. Smart people can see through all this. Yahoo news is the pied piper of the easily manipulated.

It is incredible that this yahoo site should say anything about TEXAS, keep your liberal caliDCgarbage to yourselves, our state is dealing with crippling weather and was declared a state of emergency by our government, and your Washington president has done nada, nothing, your desire to be GREEN has shown its flaws with windmills that don't work without deicing by petroleum products. But you don't tell people that. You are worse to OUR TEXAS FAMILY then any storm. WE ARE TEXAS! WE ARE STRONGER THEN THE REST OF THE WORLD. AND WE DON'T NEED YOUR TRASH, AND IF OTHERS WANT TO JOIN US IN OUR STATE AND BE TEXANS, GOOD... DON'T BRING YOUR FAILED VALUES AND AGENDA TO US. and yahoo news go BEAT SAND!

Pseudo news. Incredibly left leaning and race baiting series of news stories. They have discontinued comments because many of their stories were called out as inaccurate by sharp reviewers.

Poorly Done Tabloid
February 14, 2021

AT&T has shown it's true colors through yahoo. Yahoo is nothing but a digital tabloid. The people that write for yahoo could not write for anyone that has an education higher than the 2nd grade and that is a stretch!

Ever check out the so-called journalists that report for Yahoo? Their lack of professional credentials? Yeah, do that one thing. Have a good laugh, and then move to real professional unbiased, informed, intelligent journalism. You won't find that on any liberal media news sites.

I have not seen evidence of unbiased reporting of facts on Yahoo. There is no attempt whatsoever to hide bias, nor do they need to try now that they have disabled all comments so that no one can fact check them.

I keep my opinions to myself for the most part, but it does get kind of annoying when everything is so biased. In today's world, it can be said to be an expectation to a degree, but I at least expect things to be shown from both extremes. Today's media in general seems to be meant to garner clicks and sway moreso than it is to inform. I am honestly disappointed by all of it.

Its not even news
February 5, 2021

It's obviously incredible biased, which would be ok alone, if they were honest about it. But then it lowers the bar further with false assumptions, logical fallacies, all unchecked by basic fact checkers or better yet, a commentator with a different opinion. As a moderate who usually votes Dem, I am getting more and more pissed at the leftist media such as yahoo, for attempting to make all Dems appear to be stupid biased hate mongers. Many of us actually want to hear both sides before deciding. Put the comments section back, at least it attempted to keep you honest, even when it did go way overboard in the other direction, at least there was some balance. (And if the articles had improved even a bit, the commenters wouldn't have had such easy prey for their comments.)

You gotta be...
February 3, 2021

A special kind of to moronic tool to either A. Take yahoo news even a little bit seriously. Or B. Work or have anything to do with the trainwreck itself. I can barely imagine the lack of character or the moral compass of a typical clown that mans the deck of that colossal turd, or worse, the ones who are deluded enough to think they're actual journalists. At least tabloids know they are tabloids. I would rather spend three hours staring at my dogs anus than read Yahoo! ‘news' for five minutes.

I used to like Yahoo news, but in the past few years it has grown increasingly bad. I'm traditionally more "left" of center, politically speaking, but when reading news I want actual news, whereas Yahoo for some reason has devolved into radical left propaganda. I don't understand what's happened to the media in the past few years. I used to think Fox news was terrible for their obvious bias and blatant lies under Rupert Murdoch, but it's like other news stations started competing with them in the opposite direction. I don't even know where to go to get actual news anymore. All I want is truth in journalism, not opinion pieces on totally absurd articles which have no-long term meaning.

In addition, Yahoo disabled comment sections only on certain articles, and it was quite obvious this was done only because it was receiving so many negative comments about the articles themselves. That, if nothing else, makes it clear they don't care at all about the opinions of people on their site. If you have any criticism of what they post, no matter how ridiculous, they'll just disable your voice so that they don't have to hear you... and go on posting "news" articles to the detriment of society at large. You may ask: why do you ever go there then? Well, I've stopped going there, but I've been using Yahoo email for a long time, and the news section pops up whenever I log out, so sometimes their outrageous click-baity titles pull me in, like everyone else.

What a joke. Yahoo is so far biased to the left that it makes you laugh out loud to read it. Until you realize people are so stupid they believe everything they see on the internet. Then it is terrifying. I miss real news. I miss the truth. Unfortunately, this type of bias (to the point of making things up completely) has caused me to distrust all social media and all news outlets. Thanks for playing God to manipulate people to your agenda Yahoo. An entire country that does not trust the media.

Liberal bias, reports negative opinions when a balanced perspective is available. Adds no value to the reader. You can read the hate in the story. Most stories are from a far left perspective. NPR has lost is credibility. Suggestion; report a balanced perspective, if the goal is to educate your audience. Its time to get back to the job of reporting news, and stop being a politicians advocate.

Teenage Activists
January 17, 2021

When reading Yahoo! ‘news', it's best to acknowledge the entire team of ‘journalists' operate with the same objectivity you might find in a woke, coffeehouse, student union basement at a private liberal arts college. At times it's funny, more often it's absolutely terrible. Either way, you can't possibly take it seriously if you're IQ is above 90 or you haven't been indoctrinated by infantile neo-Marxist's who are likely still driving their suburban parents car.
