Is Yahoo Answers Liberally Biased?

Question

I have noticed how liberally biased Yahoo is. Have you?

Answer 1

Yes. Extremely liberal.

Answer 2

Yahoo Answers is just a place people can ask questions and get answer. Think of it as a giant electronic piece of paper that anyone can write on. How can a piece of paper be biased? If the writing is biased, blame the author, not the papermill worker.

Answer 3

Just noticing that now? Haven't you noticed how any post or question that bashes liberals earns you a "violation" from the Yahoo Nazi Censors? Yet liberals can insult anyone, defame people, insult the President as a person (knock his views if you like, but we used to draw the line a personal insults) I have even seen out and out threats against the President on here...yet no censoring by the Liberal folks at YA.
They remove all the non liberal posts so it looks like everyone is liberal and thinks the same way. It makes them feel cool when they preach to the choir. Dissenting voices spoil it for them. That is their way of being "tolerant" and allowing for all views to be heard..censorship!

Ask the dissenters in China about Yahoo. Oh wait, you can't because after Yahoo revealed who they where to the Chinese Govt, they where imprisoned and in all likelihood, executed.
So, yes, yahoo is very much liberal biased and it is getting worse.

Answer 4

in case you're using derogatory words to describe human beings (inclusive of minorities or homosexuals) then your speech isn't secure. the two way, Yahoo is a company entity- not a governement one, and is under no criminal duty to allow you spew your message of hate. yet, I say save speaking- you're doing extra to help the Anti-Bush marketing campaign than an extremely Liberal Media Conspiracy (if there grew to become into this style of project) ought to ever probable do. Has it got here approximately to you which you're actually not the final public anymore?

Answer 5

Yes and communistic. Can you imagine an American company working with Communist China in having journalists imprisoned and tortured. Outrageous. Check this link.

How many times do you see "questions" about Bush being the worst President or even likening him to Hitler? Many, many times. Try doing the same thing about Hillary. They won't even post the question.

Answer 6

you're here...they haven't kicked you out. The "bias" you see is the participation of Liberals...this is not Rush Limpbaugh's personal site where Conservatives get to set the rules...this is an open forum. Be prepared to defend your opinions with logic or you will be schooled.

Yahoo is just a corporation. But the people working for it are young and educated....and most young, educated city kids are Liberal...If you think Yahoo is Liberally biased, then Minneapolis is Liberally biased

Answer 7

No question about it. Just look at the answers in the Politics section which have been deleted by Yahoo because they violated 'community guidelines'. You will find striking evidence that the Yahoo moderators are liberally biased.

Here are some questions would should have been deleted, but were not. There is definitely a pattern:

Answer 8

I think that each side thinks that YA is biased toward the other side. I've been here a few times and every person here is conservative.

So no, I don't think YA is biased in either direction, it just depends on the day you come in hahaha

Answer 9

No, I think they are getting tired of wacko bushies driving away their advertising business with all the "reporting" they keep doing.

Every time a Bushie reports a liberal Yahoo loses revenue and I think they are getting tired of it.

It's just good republican business to kick off republicans, that's all.

Answer 10

Geeze, how many times have I heard this conservative conspiracy theory...? Several dozen times, probably?
Anyway, that is hard to believe when I, too, have fair questions deleted and receive violation notices for responding in a way that was "not a question or answer".
