There's rampant bias in the media; that should surprise no one. Still, I never fail to be surprised by the extent of the left wing bias at Yahoo. Remember, Yahoo is no long a stand alone company. It is a subsidiary of Verizon. The bias of the old days has not changed one bit, however. I was reminded of that today in an article about the fact that the congressional Republicans are going to publish their final tax proposal on this coming Tuesday. So how does Yahoo announce this? The headline announces that the GOP will unveil the "winners" and "losers" from the tax plan next week.
Think about that. If you only read the headline (like at least half of all readers) you wouldn't know that the details of the tax plan were being unveiled. All you would know is that there are clear losers (and winners) in the GOP tax plan. And you can be sure that Yahoo would tell you that the rich were the winners and everyone else comprise the losers. In other words, there's no need to read the details of the tax plan; you are likely a loser from it.
Then there's another article headlined "Trump dossier research funded by site with GOP ties". So it wasn't Hillary's campaign and the DNC that paid for the dossier, right? WRONG!! The article under this headline points out that the Washington Free Beacon paid Fusion GPS to do research on Trump, but none of the material in the Trump dossier was the result of that research. Let's make that clearer: Hillary and the DNC paid Fusion GPS to put together a dossier of phony stories designed to smear Trump and claim connections with the Russians. The Washington Free Beacon had earlier employed Fusion GPS to do research, but that research had nothing whatsoever to do with the dossier. Simply put, the Yahoo headline is a blatant lie.
So we have Yahoo and its never-ending narrative that Trump is bad and everything Republican must be destroyed. When the facts don't follow that narrative, Yahoo just ignores those facts. Even when it publishes an article with facts harmful to the Democrats, Yahoo just creates a false narrative with the headline it writes.
I stopped reading Yahoo News long ago for just this reason. If I hadn't gone to Yahoo today to see some of the college football scores, I wouldn't have seen this latest bit of phony news. I suggest we all stop visiting Yahoo News. Maybe the loss of clicks would awaken people at Verizon's headquarters to the kind of dishonest or misleading stuff being put out on that website.
