check out the Fred Thompson story if you don't believe me. Yahoo seems to LOVE people like Obama and Hillary (Mrs. Bill Clinton). Can you say BIASED?

Yahoo uses the Reuters news service, which is generally fairly balanced.
What I have noticed about Yahoo, however, is that its choice of headlines that accompany the wire stories are often intentionally biased or misleading. Also, they may pick and choose stories from the wire service that "fit" the editors' perceptions of the world. Some of this is probably unintentional-- true objectivity is a lot harder than it looks.

No, that's not bias. It just mean you don't like Yahoo. I probably don't like you. That doesn't make you biased person. Or does it?
I've seen plenty stories about what Obama and Clinton did wrong or something they argue about...etc.
You're making subjective judgment which is bias.
When you see stories criticizing left you think it's fair and when you see stories criticizing right you see it as biased.
Am I right?
And I might add using single story as example of bias is terribly flawed.

If what you are saying is true..wow, Yahoo finally has something right ....Fred Thompson is as big a disappointment as the other two.

Can YOU hear- "No." ??? If Yahoo "reflects" anything- it's the tens of thousands of people who pass through the Site every hour... The Country is SICK of the way the Republicans have mismanaged things over the past 7 years- and Yahoo is merely reflecting that unhappiness. This IS (still) a free Country you know... -You can ALWAYS take your Unhappiness somewhere ELSE... I hear you'd find PLENTY of people like yourself- in Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, etc., etc., etc.. :)

They're left handed?
No, really. Yahoo is a business. If a majority of it's users and supporters were behind the right, so would they be.

Maybe because there are so many demons on the right
