During the Republican convention, the head of Yahoo's Washington news bureau was fired by Yahoo when he made a really nasty and biased comment about Republicans over the air. Sadly, that move has done nothing to change the totally biased picture that Yahoo News always gives to its political stories. I just saw on that I have to mention.
Jake Tapper of ABC News has an article out that is headlined President Obama Falsely Claims Fast and Furious Program "Begun Under the Previous Administration". The point of the article is that Obama lied when he told the audience during an interview on Univision that he inherited Fast and Furious and that Bush was to blame for it. In fact, Fast and Furious was only begun in the summer of 2009, about half a year after Obama took office. The hundreds of people who were killed with guns that Fast and Furious sent to the Mexican drug cartels are Obama's responsibility, not that of George Bush.
Yahoo News has a link to the article, but they decided to change the headline on the link. What does Yahoo News change in an article about how Obama made false claims? Here is the headline: Obama: Fast and Furious began under Bush Administration.
That's right. Yahoo changes the story from one about Obama lying to one that blames Bush for something that undeniably is Obama's responsibility.
