No need to use vulgar language in article description. Children know how to read too, and using terms like 'shitstorm' is wrong
On the frontage of a yahoo news today was a link to an Esquire article about Scott Walker, and the description of the story called it a shitstorm. Children read the Internet, and don't need language like this. The author apparently cannot come up with better terminology, there are several good websites dealing in antonyms and synonyms.

Better editing
Yahoo news is consistently plagued with typos, formatting issues and references to unrelated material. Take today's issue. Quotes appeared as @s over a photo and a seemingly random Wikipedia reference about Facebook was coupled with a story about Apple that made no reference to Facebook. In addition, another Wikipedia reference included what seemed to be the start of another sentence from the entry that could not have been attended. That's all in one fairly small publication and in my opinion inexcusable. I downloaded the yahoo news app at first because of Katie courics affiliation but either she has no editorial…

Article titled "Freakish eel-like sea creature shows up on Australian beach" has profanity within the teaser!?!?!?
Whatever algorithm you are using to bring in news articles should exclude any with 4 letter words. Especially in the teaser!!!

I will be Blocking Yahoo from all our computers due to the vulgar language that is being used on here now. Children can see this sight.
The vulgar language being used on Yahoo here recently is tasteless and void of any class at all. Yahoo is now blocked from all my computers.
I have noticed the trend of very progressive & "poor" journalism on Yahoo news. The language is merely a byproduct of the amateur and dumbed downed writings. -

Limit the explicit news about ****
How can you post news about Roku adding pornhub website. Kids under age can read this and apply it. Have some decency. Yahoo is supposed to be a family webpage that respects its value. Are you out of your mind ?

fix moderator from censoring for personal/political reasons
My messages are being deleted, apparently for political reasons at the following article, because it seems doubtful to be some sort of computer error:
https://www.yahoo.com/politics/how-trumps-bullying-would-play-against-clinton-100051302.html?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=maI in no way violated the comments rules. This is censorship. Its not fair to do it based on the rules you yourself set. Thank you for practicing the first amendment and censoring only when a violation occurs. Any ethical company would not start dismantling threads just because of political reasons or a disagreement of fact/opinion. This goes straight to reputation and company conduct. Whoever is doing it is violating Yahoo standards I believe. TY…

******
Could you please release the word ****** from the naughty list? ***** is allowable, but the female counterpart is not? It's like someone with social hangups working on your site think they it's a dirty word. That same person deems ***** as safe, so I can guess the gender of the hater.

Language
If you actually believe that using "*" and "*" in your articles will increase your otherwise anemic viewership, you are in worse shape than anyone thought. Try printing something that's actually interesting. Other than your fantasy sports app, your website is total amateur hour.

Remove profanity
Please screen news articles for appropriate language. The story headlined "Freakish eel-like sea creature shows up on Australian beach" included an obscenity in its first line as printed on your website on February 16, 2016.

Stop deleting comments you don't agree with!!!
Stop deleting comments you don't agree with!!!
I commented on this story: http://news.yahoo.com/abortion-case-returns-supreme-court-loss-scalia-120808598.html;_ylt=AwrC1C0UeddW6isAKpPQtDMD;_ylu=X3oDMTBybGY3bmpvBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMyBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzcg--
It had 6 thumbs up at one point then my comment disappeared. This is not the first time that has happened. Yahoo is run by Religious Republicans, post a well written comment against guns or pro-choice and see how long it lasts!!!
