It seems that all Yahoo news and comments by people slam the president and his administration. It seems Yahoo doing all it can to see that USA lose the Iraq war.

Yahoo is in the Bay Area, so it's likely has influence. Journalists are very biased hate-Bush leftists, that's the problem.
On yahoo answers, you have a totalitarian liberal mob or posse that reports abuse on conservative posts, even if the question reads "Do you believe in God?"

From what I understand, we are not at war with Iraq. We are at war with terrorism. We are in Iraq to help them to keep the terrorists from ruling the country again.
As far as Yahoo being run by socialists or leftists...I don't think so. I happen to think that Bush has made some mistakes with his administration also. I won't be voting for him again if he runs. I think they are just letting all points of view out there.

So the U.S. will lose a war because...some people don't agree with the war and decide to speak their mind about it? If the soldiers are dying to protect this country and freedom, then isn't the freedom to dissent protected too? OR should we keep our opinions to ourselves until after the government decides to do what it wants and then we can argue about whether it should have done that?
Has one soldier died because he/she just couldn't take the fact that people are expressing their views? And if the government does many bad things, and it is reported, does that mean the news is anti-government (whatever the administration) or could it also be that in fact the government does bad things?

Can't conservatives and right wingers be against the president too? I don't think Yahoo takes a political stance, maybe its just a majority of the people that put content on it that do.
I thought the President was being quite liberal with the $ and the big government, and the lack of accountability for statements he made before congress. Go figure, those aren't conservative ideals?
There goes John Skerry again below, getting victimized by the liberals. Poor guy!

Well, if you actually read the news, rather than just the headlines, you'll notice that most of the articles are written by national and international news agencies, not by Yahoo itself.
So, if that's the only news in the world, and everyone is coming to the same conclusion, it's pretty hard to blame Yahoo.
{EDIT in response to asker's email}
Yahoo does not write the news. They just republish news outlets and wire services from all over the country and around the world. So, blaming Yahoo for what the news says is like blaming Sony for what appears on your television set.

American's hate to lose!
The administration is failing. And, I am willing to see this war for what it is - a failure. I choose not to put rosy colored glasses on and pretrend all is well.
As far as loosing...
This administration put our troops in a bad situation when they sent them out there without proper equipment.
Okay, call me a hippy I don't give a damn. I protested the war from before it we even started. I worked with 80 year olds who were telling me about Vietnam and Pearl Harbor. They hoped a young college kid like me didn't have to go through that. But, it came. And, I accepted this was the best course for my country.
THEN, I get wind that the troops don't have the supplies. I have friends that served there as MPS and didn't have handcuff. They were given el cheapo blindfolds that were literally fraying into nothing. Guys didn't have slings for their M16s. Come on.
Yes, I organized a drive to send supplies. But, should citizens have to supply our military?

What Yahoo have you been reading?! It's being overrun by fascist toadies of the Bush administration like Andy G and John Skerry.

no
because of course what yahoo says actually makes a difference in how the war goes, what kind of stupid idea is that? most of yahoo articles are from the wire services, so blame them. and seriously, if you take an unbiased look, you would find that they really aren't that biased, certainly nowhere near as biased and devoted to twisting the truth as fox news and you are

None of the above... Look around the different areas of Yahoo, not just News articles...Much of it's views, are Conservative.

First, this belief that the media is all left-biased is crap, plain and simple. Check out Media Matters for America, and you'll find countless examples of right-wing bias in the media, and not just on FOX, either.
To answer your question, no.
