When it is a forum of the people? People write and edit the entries on wikipedia, and people hit the report button on Yahoo Answers. Does the right mean to say that the MAJORITY has a liberal bias? Or PEOPLE have a liberal bias?

Yahoo answers could, because it is ultimately up to the moderators which posts they want to delete, so they could, if they wanted to, only delete posts that disagreed with their view, whichever it is.
However, Wikipedia is completely neutral.

More people who write for Wikipedia are liberal. All newspapers have a bias, whether conservative or liberal. My local newspaper has quite a liberal bias, they almost printed a paper stating that John Kerry won the 2004 election, when he conceded to Bush. If there was anything good about Kerry, they printed it, but narry a good word was said about Bush, and guess who won....You'll see instances similar to this in everything written...

At first, I thought the same thing. But as I used YA! more often I realized that an individual can report your answer, not Yahoo. It's usually a person who has an opposing view of your political or religious stance...these folks are cowards and cry-babys, they can't answer your question in an intelligent manner, so they choose to report you...this goes for both sides of the aisle...

By that same logic, talk radio shows that people have a conservative bias. (Radio stations put on what people want to listen to, or else they go out of business. Arguably, it would be easier to alter content on a website than "cook" a ratings book.)
My personal opinion has always been that different forums just happen to attract different demographics. Simple as that.
A short answer, for once. :)

I have trouble believing YA is liberally bias. I see a lot more conservatives posting query's than liberals.

Anything that is not slanted towards conservatives has a liberal bias.

There are many pages like this on YA and 360 that glorify violence and celebrate the death of kuffirs (non muslims). Here's a few...
Check out how proud and happy she is to report the deaths on them on her page:

Check out the lovely page featuring her hero Osama Bin Laden on her page, and pics of her holding "peaceful" guns in one hand with a Q'ran in the other ....

Check out the "peaceful pics"

Cant Read the text, But thanks to this guy the issue of who is more closely in touch with Nazi-ism is settled once and for all..

"Peaceful" Al Aqsa Supporter:
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-LIDrzdQheqrnV9XaTtq3Mbx7boj7s8j7?l=6&u=10&mx=1...
This list of "peaceful" pages just scratch the surface of all the twisted, hate filled, people on yahoo 360.. How is it that an American based company allow the above people to have such hate filled and crude imagery as they do, yet react in a swift & knee jerk fashion against every day americans discussing American politics???
A guy named Porkchops also posted verses from the qur'an,and even followed up with the original verses. There is nothing wrong with quoting actual verses from a religious text is there? This is what offended someone enough to complain, report and have his page instantly deleted without warning? Where is the justice? Where is the fairness?
Another 360 Member; "And Liberty For All" posted a blog concerning an active 360 member; Sword Of Domocles,
http://360.yahoo.com/profile-runrD7Qzd6dVoR5UcfjVmv0tog-
who is constantly harassing, rude, and submits expletive comments on a daily basis to all members of team infidel.. The blog was clearly original, matter of fact, and quoted the author on his numerous and obvious Term of Service Violations which although reported to the yahoo staff repeatedly by numerous people, continues to post comments unrestrained. The blog was taken down in less than 18 hours!! How is this possible? When will someone in your offices do what's fair and right concerning the above matter?
I fully appreciate the fact that Yahoo has a huge portion of it's hardware and support services located outside of the US and that alone may be the reason why anti American sentament goes unchallenged.

Because republicans thankfully are a minority in the USA, and virtually non-existent in the rest of the world
Instead of using the word "infidels" they prefer to call everyone who disagrees with them "liberals"

Reality has a liberal bias.

I'm laughing about this one. A free forum is liberally biased?
