Yahoo is no longer my home page and I will not be renewing my paid account. Media bias is one thing, it is something else. Corrupt!
You have moved from somewhat tolerably biased to downright corrupt. And useless.Yahoo news will no longer be my hope page (there for no more ad clicks) and my paid account will no longer be renewed.

Free speech is a right in which the government cannot interfere. Yahoo is a publisher which is not required to publish or disseminate any information, comments or opinion it does not wish to. In the same vein I, as a citizen, am not required to view or read your published information. Please be advised that I will no longer access the Yahoo Home Page for information of any sort, print or video. The rejection of comments that do not violate Yahoo Guidelines has prompted this decision. I imagine Yahoo's paying advertisers will not be pleased with my decision.

Dylan Stableford is no legal expert so, when Chauvin's trial verdict is guaranteed to cause riots, why do you have an article where he describes 2nd degree murder as requiring proof that "Chauvin caused Floyd's death while assaulting him"? That's the end of his definition! Then Stableford ends his article with "None of the charges requires prosecutors to prove Chauvin intended to kill Floyd".
Well, here's Justia's definition of 2nd degree murder: "Second-degree murder is defined as an INTENTIONAL killing that was not premeditated".
It's MURDER. It might not require premeditation, but it most definitely requires INTENT! Only manslaughter is unintentional. Murder also requires proof of MALICE. Chauvin is required to have intended to act in a manner so reckless that he knows it will likely kill somebody, and knows that it is outside the scope of his job duties. He can't have been acting within the scope of his duties and be charged with MURDER! Cops kill criminals all the time (and vice versa)! That's like charging soldiers with murder for killing on the battlefield. Please don't have Dylan play big boy legal analyst anymore, while people's lives and businesses are at stake. He never does sufficient research for stuff like that. I wish somebody would hold Yahoo liable for all of the crime and murder your sloppy misreporting causes. And, of course, no comment section so people might correct Dylan's faulty legal definitions.

Today, there was an article titled "Am I a Fetish or the Prettiest Girl In The Room? Why Attractive Black Women trigger White People" The article claimed that the painting "A Pair of Broad Bottoms" had been made to objectify black women, resulting in the expectation that black women have large bottoms and twerk. When I pointed out that the two people in the painting were actual people at the time (Sarah Baartman and Lord Grenville), who looked the way the painting had depicted, the moderator kept removing my comment. Apparently, he can't be bothered to do a google search before determining if my comment is factual enough to be posted.
The same is true for a later comment I tried to give explaining that only a small fraction of white Americans descend from ***** owners. This is a fact that has been attested to by several experts, including Nell Irvine Painter, an African American black studies professor and historian at Princeton University, in her book "The History of White People". Even snopes tries to exaggerate the percentage by pointing out that Adam Rothman, a historian at Georgetown University, claims 7.4% of white Americans owned slaves. Well, that's still a small fraction. Snopes takes issue because this number includes non-*****-holding states, but my comment never claimed to be only about *****-holding states and, further, ***** ownership came nowhere close to the majority of white households even in the South. Some states were worse than others, but I didn't specify I was discussing any specific state. Rather, I clarified I'm discussing white Americans today, the majority of whom, as I said, "do not descend from *****-owners". As widely known as this fact is, when I tried to post it, the Yahoo moderator blocked me from making any more comments and threatened to remove my yahoo account. Am I supposed to lie and claim the bulk of white Americans DO descend from ***** owners? Because your "terms and conditions" claim we're not supposed to lie in the comments section. If we are only allowed to post "facts", how come both your articles and the comments section are filled with leftist inaccuracies that we will have our Yahoo accounts removed for trying to correct?

I know you posted this 4 years ago, and all they've done since is remove the comments section so they can misquote Trump and we can't call them out anymore. Today, Ben Werschkul, who is apparently Yahoo's Senior Producer and Writer at Yahoo Finance, claimed Trump had called Mexican immigrants "rapists". In reality, what Trump said was "I speak with border guards, and they tell me what we are getting. Some are criminals, some are rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but we aren't getting Mexico's best and brightest". In other words, Trump clarified that he is quoting border guards regarding which Mexicans are coming here ILLEGALLY (border guards don't deal with legal immigration), and that some of those (surprise, surprise) are criminals, so we do better to stick with LEGAL immigration in order to get Mexico's best and brightest. Naturally, though, Yahoo has removed our ability to correct their misquote on their site, so I am left no choice but to do it here instead. They've forced us into their echo chamber and then they wonder why their audience is leaving.

Banning the comments doesn't stop God from hearing me; if anything, it makes it easier as listening is faster than reading - especially since I haven't lost my knack for long winded diatribes.
Take my curse on Governor Newsome, which took effect immediately, nothing but embattlement ever since - and the rest of his life. 1st, no Emmy for him, then the photo-op, then some quarantine for he and his family, and the best part, Decrepit Nancy Pelosi being re-elected for the rest of his term; nothing worse than a bossy old expletive telling you what to do for 2 more years - only to forever mark what was supposed to be the greatest achievement of his life. Look how Chucky Schumer is entirely irrelevant now.
I also see some outspoken celebrity that liked to stir it up is losing what she was most famous for; that's what Alyssa Milano gets - because you know, God is a woman that can't stand when women cause problems for good men. Couldn't help but notice many of the outspoken celebrity critics that failed to render got hit harder. Oh well, I mean, outspoken celebrity critics says it all. I personally find instructional DVDs on music theory to be far more entertaining than their predictable outspokenness, and honestly, music theory is possibly the most boring subject I've ever observed on a TV screen; although I do know far more about the formation of the universe - I've abandoned that subject and those astronomers can tell their tall tales all they want, no one is listening.
And nobody is hearing anything those bottom feeder cable entertainment news hosts are saying; I for one don't even feel an inkling of curiosity when I scroll right past their articles on Microsoft News; same for Boring Joe Biden articles - not hard to figure out what talentless shills are being paid to blather about. I did however click on the article about a former Jersey Shore member dying their hair blonde. That's how bad the news is these days, catch my drift? What will the media do? Go ahead and go back to promoting mentally ill mass murderers like you had to when Boring Obama was Caesar.
Next up, this pandemic and the handling by all the incompetents is because God is granting my wish from 22 yeas ago - and yes, the soon to be former president and his namesakes are among the incompetents. His appointing that greedy Azar clown tells a 400 pound genius like myself all sorts - that's why God hasn't answered any prayers for the dummies that pray for him; didn't even consider it.
In closing, the odds are I won't see another election, turns out I'm pretty ill; something I was born with, and the masks and distance standards all greatly benefit me - the free check was nice. And speaking of the stimulus, I'm now cursing all those that refuse to pay the little people while shilling for greedy corporations (McConnel and Munchin are up next) - watch for it.

Yup..........yahoo sometimes changes the format to their homepage. I think yahoo should let us pick the format we like instead of them doing these crazy "test" on us to see if we complain. I hate the new look.....give me the old look. Why does everyone think new ways are always better? New ways are not always better....some like the old ways too!

Please stop jacking with the homepage. You are making it increasingly difficult to navigate. It gets tiring trying to figure out your "improvements". If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Bring back the previous format. Stop going out of your way to encourage folks to find a new home page.

I totally agree. They don't even ask or give you the option to change it back. What's the matter yahoo, somebody didn't have anything to do again. VERY seriously considering going to another email, one that does not force their way on you.
