Yahoo News Prostituting for Obama: Daily Pro-Obama News Items
September 19, 2012

Posted on 09/19/2012 10:11:19 AM PDT by Steelfish

Each and every day Yahoo News via e-mail and in their main news tab have a barrage of pro-Obama and anti-Romney news clips. You would think they have prostituted themselves to harlots of the White House spin and have become a fully owned subsidiary of Media Matters. We read glowing accounts of how Obama is rising in the polls, and how 3 out 4 individuals do not connect to Romney, an endless highlighting of Romney's 47% comment, how optimism is on the rise, that home sales are steaming ahead, and this goes on and on. During the RNC Yahoo News was wetting in their pants printing favorable pieces of the DNC convention. What can we do? How do we protest? Boycott?

Misprint. It should read during the “DNC convention” (not RNC)

Yahoo used to allow “members” to vote up (or down) different news items. During the Bush presidency, liberal activists would routinely bury any “good” news (or pro-life news, etc) and bump up the items they wanted to have high visibility. Don’t know if this is still the case there.

You don't have to donate money to the Romney campaign to make a difference. (You should donate money to FreeRepublic.)

If You Live in a Blue State, Here Is What You Can Do To Help Romney Beat Obama

I've made 1600 phone calls from home to New Hampshire in the last six days using the system set up by the campaign. Even 100 calls will make a difference. Who will join me?

For this reason alone (Yahoo in the tank for 0bama), I think it would be appropriate to ban Yahoo articles from being posted on FR. Why give those pinkos the hits?

Just my 2 cents.

I have my email on yahoo, and would like to switch to a non obama-suckup company.

Any suggestions?

Ugh. Even though they may not be as conservative as we would like, we should appreciate the number of female executives who go into politics in the GOP column (though they’ve yet to win offices): Whitman, Fiorina, and McMahon among them.

From the comments I’ve red in Yahoo, most people hate the president.

I have been keeping an eye on it as well....every hour they update it with negative stories on Romney and pro-Obama stories...around the clock and then they update those articles later with a few sentences to freshen it up.

I have noticed the same thing - for years. However, I have noticed that more and more people who comment on the articles call them out on it.
