Who Owns Yahoo News?
vanity

Posted on 08/17/2016 12:54:35 PM PDT by MrChips

Every day, more than once, I log on to the Internet. My homepage is Yahoo. There I see the headlines of the day. . . from everywhere, except from the more conservative papers. One headline after another bashes Trump, often before he can even say what they are criticizing him for saying. It is nauseating, indeed, dizzying. A constant drumbeat of negativity.

Now, I know Google was involved in Obama's campaign. I know that Time-Warner (which owns CNN) is Clinton's 6th largest donor. But, this selective editing, these sins of omission when there are so many conservative papers with better headlines that could be displayed, these diatribes that flood not just the Internet, but the major means of news delivery for most people . . . places like Yahoo News . . . . is simple frightening. My cell phone news ap is no better (if anything, it's worse).

Yes, OK. Welcome to Brave New World. Or is it more Orwell than Huxley? But, I repeat: Who owns Yahoo News?

MSN.com is the same way. Get used to it. The Marxists think they are on a roll, at least until November.

I do. Won it in a poker game in 1994.

Why, did it end up amounting to something?

“Every day, more than once, I log on to the Internet.”

You live in a time warp to 1996 where everyone didn’t have dedicated data lines? That’s pretty cool!

Yahoo news is horrible. Their email is getting really bad, too. Never had as many problems as I have had this year.

I think all the new technologies go to Wall Street for their funding then the big bankers let them know how things are in the globalists’ world. They have to become globalists because their is no way that Wall Street will let a powerful and promising new technology that can reach millions of people slip through the hands of the globalist propaganda machine.

Yahoo home page is the dead people page. Lots of stories of people dead or dying. They also have stories on liberals being upset about everything but first click the button: Read more to open yet another page.

It use to be much better but ceo Marissa Mayer arrived and changed it for the worse.

Maybe one of the most alarming/depressing things about the past 10-15 years is that the culture of many U.S. companies has become not just mildly liberal, but full-blown, whack job liberal. The business community used to be reliably right leaning, but no more. The media has probably never been right leaning, of course, but there aren't many places left that conservatives can go to avoid being beaten over the head with Leftist rubbish.

Dude! I am loving your posts today. Especially the gratuitous Slapshot reference.
