Is yahoo.com politically biased?

With all the news about Rev. Jerimiah Wright and the Obama connection to him why hasn't Yahoo posted the story on www.yahoo.com ?





Is Yahoo biased?





Is Yahoo a legitimate news source anyway?





Is Yahoo keeping this story out of the headlines because they are Obama supporters?





I have asked this question before only to have Yahoo remove it.





Do you feel that this question is in violation of any of the terms of Yahoo answers?





Why do you think Yahoo would remove this question?

Is yahoo.com politically biased?
Yes, they will allow any spews about Hillary, but denounce Obama and you run the risk of being banned.
Reply:No, not yahoo but the apartheid minded people, yes.
Reply:ya think? anytime you say something negative about obamination someone gets their panties in a wad and reports ya
Reply:Because they know the story has no legs.


That is ill though out and stupid.


You walk into someone else house and put your feet up on their couch.


You get knock down............I know what you mean. They don't


like slanderous remarks about themselves..put up your site and


see how quick you take stuff down.





But he removal is mostly motivated by Obama Haters.v
Reply:I think your on to something buddy. Personally I believe all politicians in America are manipulative liars.
Reply:I have seen some headlines about it on Yahoo. And I wouldn't seek political coverage from Yahoo anyway. But was it really removed? You might have said something that violated the terms of agreement unknowingly. No one really knows everything in the terms.
Reply:i haven't seen either Yahoo! News or the enforcement of the Y! Answers board to be biased either way - they usually delete questions that are in violation of their Terms of Service and are probably the ONLY unbiased news source anywhere.





I have seen headlines about Obama on Yahoo! News, they just don't sensationalize it like the rest of the televised and radio media, who have to in order to keep their ratings high. If you watch CNN or FOX, it is as if nothing else happened in the world at all yesterday except for Obama's pastor - it is pretty ridiculous! At least Y! News is posting articles about other stuff that is probably just as relevant, if not more so, than something Obama's pastor said.
Reply:Politically biased? It's freedom in bold letters. You may say anthying, anytime. No one is making anyone answer anything or answer in any way. No one makes the questions but you and me... common joe and janes. It's freedom of speech, man!
Reply:No, I saw a headline about it earlier.
Reply:Yahoo is not particularly biased but to say it is pro Obama is probably true--it sells more ad space for Obama than any of the other candidates and Yahoo's management like to make money.
