Yahoo News does not do much in the way of independent reporting. It's a good thing. The level of bias displayed at Yahoo News is overwhelming. As between Democrats and Republicans, Yahoo is firmly in the Democrat camp. As between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, Yahoo is firmly supporting Bernie. On essentially any issue, Yahoo is always coming at the story from a far left perspective. When it comes to the Middle East, Yahoo is always anti-Israel. For Syria or Iraq, Yahoo is always against anything that might make it look like any military involvement would be a good thing for the USA.
I was struck this morning by yet another example of bias. The AP came out with a story under the headline, "Israel: 3 Palestinians attempting to stab Israelis shot dead." The AP news story reports about three additional knife wielding Palestinians who attacked Israelis and were shot in self defense. Two were shot after attacking police officers at a checkpoint. The third was shot after attacking a young woman who was just walking down the street. She suffered minor injuries from being stabbed but was able to fight back and shot the attacker. Yahoo News, however, gave the story a different headline. On Yahoo, the link to the AP story had the headline: Israelis shoot three alleged Palestinian attackers. Notice the difference? The Palestinians were no longer knife wielding terrorists shot in self defense. No, on Yahoo these are people who the Israelis say were attackers. They are only "alleged" attackers. No doubt some of you will say that Yahoo just put alleged in the headline because the media always does that. If so, ask yourself why the headline didn't read Israelis allegedly shoot three alleged Palestinian attackers. Yahoo was certain that the Israelis shot these people but it wasn't certain that the three who were shot were attacking the Israelis. How can that be? The reality is that for Yahoo, it rewrites events to make them more sympathetic to the Palestinians.
This is just an example of the constant bias at Yahoo News. It's disgusting.
