I am new to this site and it seems that my answer to a certain politician has been deleted. There were no questionable words or anything like that. So whats up and is Yahoo pretty much soley a site of, by, and for demacrates?
Just wondering.

Yahoo, like most sites that decimate "NEWS" is a toilet. It only contains that which others put into it.

What probably happened is that for whatever reason, somebody reported is as abuse. Right now, deletion upon filed abuse report is automatic, so it doesn't really matter whether or not it actually was abusive, it will be deleted.
Another possibility, is that it was deleted because no one had answered it within a specific time period, but probably not.
And no, Yahoo is not a democrat run site. There are no liberal conspiracies going on here. Honesty, I must admit that it amazes me how you conservatives see liberals and so-called liberal conspiracies everywhere. You're like the fundamentalists who see demons behind every doorpost, except instead of demons, you see liberals.
Quick, don't look behind you, there's one now!
Just Kidding, please don't take that last bit too seriously.

Please give specific examples. I have not found your allegations to have merit but, I am not on here all day every day either. If you were to cite specific examples we could look at them and see what may be the problem. By the way the number of Democrats and Republicans seems about equal. One hour more liberals will be on line another hour it might be dominated by conservatives. My observation is that it varies but when all is said and done it is pretty well balanced.

Perhaps Yahoo SEEMS more liberal because the majority of people in the world (and remember Yahoo! Answers is used by non-yanks like me as well) are "liberal". US conservatives are in the minority globally (and apparently even within their own country).
I've had questions deleted as well - they were about Monty Python. Perhaps it has something to do with high traffic rather than some wierd conspiracy thought up in your head.

Sorry to hear about your delusions of persecution, but Yahoo is a publicly traded corporation.
It's called FREE ENTERPRISE, Skippy. Look it up.

First of all, learn how to spell. Secondly, I'm left of center politically and I've had questions reported and deleted also.
Cry me a river!

thinly veiled? no way, it's pretty much out in the open.
