There is news and then there are editorials. Please have a place for both and not combine the two together. Too many people think opinions are facts, including writers. Please mark articles as news information or editorial opinions.

If you want to hear only what fits your ideology, Fox news is available and will tell you exactly what you want to hear. Like Mitt Romeny will win the election, Obamacare will bankrupt the country and Ebola will kill us all.

I like the new format where you have several sources of the same subject, but it makes it even more confusing when you include both reputable news sources and disreputable blogs as if they are equal. I have given up hoping Yahoo will be less biased, but at least use left wing sources with some semblance of journalistic standards. Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times - Good. Huffington Post, The Hill, Salon, Mic, ThinkProgress - Disreputable Rags. If you want to present these Blogs, create a blog section.

I agree, yahoo news needs to move back to the middle on reporting the news. Other wise we get news like good old Elaine below from the tolerant left. How out of touch..

I agree. It seems liberals like BIG GOVERNMENT and HIGH TAXES. They want everybody except the hollywood types to pay for it. I suppose that is because most actors do not have a company. A company where they must take a risk of loosing it all. That would scare them.

Yes!!!!! Why are we continuously shown bogus news from questionable sources? And most of the links go to sites that are fake or have viruses. Don't even get me started on all the **** about the Kardashians and which low-life celebrity was arrested today. Why can't we pick and choose what we see on our main screen when we are logged into Yahoo? This new format doesn't allow me to close stories I don't want to see.

Anonymous, you articulated your view respectfully & clearly, which I appreciate. Some folks will now bully and vilify you for daring to ask for unbiased news. If you are not on the same page as they are, you do NOT deserve their "tolerance."
The real test of tolerance & respect for others, is how you treat those who do not share your views. ELAINE's response to you epitomizes the hypocrisy & nastiness of the intolerant "tolerati". She basically proves the point. There's no policy argument; just name calling, personal attacks & bitterness. The level of debate in this nation must be elevated soon. -

Better to lean left than to go with those who want to steal out of the mouths of babes, the poor and the middle class. And take away my health care. Republicans can go suck an egg and jump off a cliff!

When nearly every other "news" piece on Yahoo News is from an un-abashedly progressive media outlet such as ThinkProgress, .Mic, Salon, HuffingtonPost, and Vox, mixed in with the Katie Couric vidoes, it makes it impossible to view Yahoo as un-biased or balanced. Granted, it is a corporate enterprise which reserves the right to curate it pages how it sees fit, but it is a turn off to those who want to have a more nuanced view of the world around us. As of now, Yahoo amounts to an echo chamber for the progressives and an insult to anyone even a smidge to the right of that.

Any article that doesn't bash or blame POTUS is labeled too liberal. If they want the usual hate spewage then go to Redstate or Breitbart.

Conservatives always whine and ***** about "liberal" bias, particularly in the media. So what if Yahoo does have a liberal approach to news, there are a thousand more conservative news outlets out there for rednecks than "liberals." Problem with conservatives is they are actually fascists and believe all media should be controlled by the "right" elements of American society...meaning fascist, dictatorial, and 1984-style censorship for all. American conservatism claims to want a society free of government, but are the first to call for censorship of speech and ideas that don't adhere strictly to their beliefs. Hypocrites, all.

Way too many "articles" from Salon, Vox, Huffington Post and other liberal "news" sources. Seldom has there been much available from more conservative sources. If news is news, then bias is bias, and it's obvious that Yahoo "News" is biased in favor of liberal stories. And stories, they are--facts are few and far between in many of these pieces.

I agree, there seems to be a strong liberal bent, perhaps not so much in the news articles themselves but definitely in the op-ed type pieces that Yahoo promotes on its news feed.
Too much content from unabashedly liberal sites like TakePart, and lately my feed has been blown up by Mic especially. You get a few counterpoints like Daily Caller, but its nowhere near balanced. And then you have Yahoo News' original op-ed content like Matt Bai and Katie Couric with no real conservative counterpoint on staff.
I get that there's a slight liberal bias in the media at large, and that's going to show on Yahoo's news feed since its just basically an aggregator. But I wish the op-ed stuff was clearly differentiated, it used to come with an "op-ed" flag at least ...maybe even have a separate tab for an op-ed piece feed, separate from the feed of actual reporting.

This is apparently just another comment section for people to disagree on. Does yahoo really use the comments or just sit and laugh at posters?
