One of the most slanted news sources on the web which claims to be unbiased is Yahoo News. Sure, there are some sites like the Huffington Post which have no pretense of being fair, but someone reading Yahoo News for the first time would not know that the site is totally slanted. Each time I happen upon Yahoo, I am always amazed by the true extent of the liberal bias. Today was another good example.
Congressman Alan West of Florida yesterday criticized the speech by president Obama about energy. West pointed out that it cost over 70 bucks to fill up his tank and that Obama's plan to bring down prices was neither a plan nor something that would work. Yahoo News coverage of what West said was essentially non-existent. Instead, Yahoo wrote a piece about how West drives a Hummer H-3. That's right, instead of talking about the price of gas and what West said, Yahoo wants us to focus on the gas mileage of West's car.
I wonder if the folks at Yahoo News actually think that they are fooling anyone. Their coverage makes about as much sense as a story about a murder where instead of covering the crime they write about how the brother of the victim did not keep his yard clean. Are they kidding?
