Dear Yahoo: Stop Already With Exploiting Racial Divisiveness And Hatred!
Yeah! You.
I've been a Yahoo user for over 15 years.
I've been a print journalist, reporter, editor, and manager for over 32 years.
Almost invariably, the "news" stories that you post and feature are blatantly and obviously deliberately crafted to upset and anger everyone who is exposed to them. This is made exponentially more clear and obvious in the extreme vitriol of the comments from readers.
I am certainly aware - painfully so - that you are a business and your goal is to make profit. Got that. But! What are you willing to do to get your profit? You most assuredly present yourselves as a source of "news," and actively promote the pretense of being "journalists." You also are most absolutely NOT journalists. The concept of objectively reporting facts is so distant from any even hint of professional ethics you might hold as to be of another very distant universe.
It seems obvious to even the most obtuse reader of your "news" items that you will certainly sacrifice any journalistic ethic or standard, and - in fact - are willing to actively and knowingly contribute to the destruction of civilized society.
You're not about communication. You're about destruction.
A question for you: If you help incite, inflame, and literally build the hatred and total lack of real communication among "civilized" beings and thereby significantly contribute to the collapse of society and culture ... what good will be all the "profit" in the world?
Is my view more extreme than you normally get?
Perhaps.
Is it correct.
Probably.

I've got the same complaint as always: my news stream doesn't look at all like it belongs to me. I've had to worry for quite some time that Al Sharpton keeps breaking into my yahoo account and using it to read content.

I agree with the OP...killing the Huffington Post, VOX, and Salon feeds would be a great first step.
I rarely even read "news" on Yahoo any more because it's all political and ideological commentary...not news.

I agree. Even if what they do might be what's considered "a worthy cause",(i live near D.C. causes
happen), what goes around comes around........If you're not getting the reaction you desire
because it isn't there, don't keep going or you're sowing it. Your harvest may not hit you, it
may hit your folks. The contrary of a Truth can never be demonstrated-T. Aquinas
only the absence of Truth (different person altogether)will be demonstrated you keep this
up-even amongst yourselves. -

Its all about extremism and inflammatory...just for readership, without any regard for truth or people's feelings or considering their worth.

The articles are ok: we need to know the news, unpleasant or not. The Yahoo staff who allow disgusting blazing bigotry and racism to be emblazened throughout the comments should be fired: THEY are the problem, and they are enabling the indoctrination of new racist murderers.

Get real anon......Right wing shills?? 90% of the trash on here is leftist loonie tunes **** that is beyond stupid....I also see some stupid righty stuff, so my suggestion is get rid of it all. If they want to show news make it legitimate news agencies. If you want to read nonsense you can go directly to Huff Post, Vox, etc. Same for Daily Caller etc.And the only ones i see harassing people are leftist loonies btw on the comments boards.....period.

And get rid of the right-wing abusive paid shills that do nothing but spew propaganda, insults and harass people 24/7. They're a BIG part of the problem in dividing even more.

This is bad too. I think it is partically to blame for the state of race relations in the country. Because we are not discussing our differences, we aren't looking at statistics correctly, for some reason we don't have an American Hertiage-Europen and Mixed Native American groups. So that it should be fair, because now the NAACP is taking it too far trying to get rid of "The Prince of Egypt" and "Gone With The Wind", people have to learn history and learn that it repeats, it rynmes, and that there is a strong possiblity at the very least, that God and Christ are real. Every person on the planet deserves to know that and deserves to learn to read, write, and do math, and at least to pursue being happy, being respected, and I believe, personally in business and at the high school, college level, treated with respect. Doing it off of merit verses doing it so a college or business can get a kick back, everyone deserves to work that can or is able to or to their ablities.

Good idea, please vote for mine at 619th to fix Yahoo! Answers. Now anyone known to have a Christian, Jewish, or Conservative view point can't post on there on the "Religion & Spirituality" category, it is just the same people under the same screen name. That's illegal, when did the upper class finally take over Yahoo and forget to read John Loch or Thomas Paine? When did Yahoo become a place of censorship. It is bad enough most of the press is left or immoral or the media is slanted not to discuss or talk about certain people. I am going to report them to the BBB for it. You don't do that, plus it is against Internet law and International Law, seriously and US Law. Someone there can't read, is paid off, or is doing something they shouldn't be doing.

Exactly, and thank you for calling them out on this. I guess yahoo's featured content should have warned me, but the yahoo moderator allows all anti-white racism, so long as the comment is racist against whites. However, if you defend whites, he will remove the comment, especially if you prove your point using a trusted source. If you quote the dictionary, he removes your comment. If you quote the US census, he removes your comment. If you quote genocidewatch, he removes your comment. Even if you quote mainstream left wing newspapers like the LA Times, he removes your comment. There is nothing but facts in the comment, and it seems other news sources have no trouble publishing those facts. Yahoo's moderator doesn't do this if the quote is anti-white, and he allows the most absurd anti-white stuff. He only deletes the comment if it defends whites from the hateful, bigoted, nonsense accusations already made in the comments that he already allowed to be posted. It's only corrections of that nonsense that the moderator refuses to allow to be posted. He's clearly racist against whites and wants to fan the flames of hatred against them, as if the murder rates of whites aren't already high enough in this country (of course, yahoo is part of the media that covers that up as well, and provokes race riots whenever they can). So, like everyone else on yahoo, I'm now banished to this dungeon of nothing to explain my complaint that nobody ever reads. Time for me to find another email service for myself and my family.

Some of the commenters now have to be paid propagandists used to incite hatred and controversy. This particular poster, named "Kevin" has over 8,700 comments all somewhat like this one- "what is the difference between a Pissraeli and a pizza? The pizza doesn't scream going into the oven…." and "Someone correct me if i am wrong but is 'Bruce' aka menachim, ariel, biny or moishe....not a used Saudi feminine napkin? and wasn't moishe also in a previous life a rectal suppository that was imbedded deep us an Iranian bum?"
Yahoo continues to allow these types of comments, yet deletes comments that try to refute this "Kevin" person. Why is that?

Couldn't agree more. Well said. So sick of Yahoo 'reporters' (slang for idiots) who have no more intelligence than to jump on a destructive popular theme rather than to think about the long term consequences of what they are promoting. Whenever I read such garbage I think of Lemmings running with the pack, over the cliff and into the sea. Why not talk about the people and neighborhoods who were destroyed by the paid rioters or the child with cerebral palsey who almost lost his life from his home being burned by these 'intelligent' protesters - he was saved due to a fast acting neighbor who rushed in to help the mother carry the child to safety. But no, you zero in on a police officer who knocked an out of control teen to the ground. WOW, I'm impressed. Try solving a problem not inflaming a problem. Well those who can't criticize, and those who can, do. Have another Kool Aid. No such thing as real reporting any longer.Yahoo's Sickles must have done his internship at National Enquirer. S'long Yahoo

To the person who is just as upset as I am about the direction of our country and the racism toward white people.
upset that our tax dollars are given out to certain groups as in the blacks which this person clearly told you about. No scholarships for white boys and girls just to the privileged blacks.The news media pushes, as nauseum, white privilege. white people are the people who work for a living and if that adds up to privilege in the minds of some so be it, but stop stealing what we are willing to work for, what we build, what we hold dear as our belief in Jesus Christ our Savior and God.
You are mistaken when you get tired of hearing about Twana Brawley, the Duke students falsely accused and the rest of these crimes against white people, BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL ATTACKS AND ASSAULT JUST DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER RAPES, MUGGINGS, STEALING AND EVERY ATTACK THE BLACKS DO AGAINST THE WHITE COMMUNITY.
NOT REPORTED ON VERY MUCH BUT THE FAMILY, MOTHER FATHER 10 YEAR OLD SON AND HOUSEKEEPER WERE MURDERED AND TORTURED BY BLACKS YET YOU HEAR ONLY ABOUT ONE OF THE KILLERS AND NOT ABOUT OTHERS INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK.
THIS WAS A HATE CRIME YET THE NEWS MEDIA PLAYS THIS WHOLE EVENT DOWN.
AFTER THE TORTURE AND MURDER THEY BURNED THE HOUSE TO TRY TO COVER UP THE CRIME.
THIS SHOULD BE 24/7 NEWS AS THE NEWS MEDIA ATTACKS THE WHITE POLICE AND PEOPLE LIKE THE Duggars.
They are again giving "privilege to the scum black thugs" who are racist and morally and intellectually 300 years behind white people in evolution.
That is fact that is not supposed to be told people. Scientists have been vilified for the sake of liars. -

To all who have commented about yahoo and the news media false reports and instigation of hatred and division of races we need to organize.
I am sick of all of this as well.I believe we are beyond truth and integrity in government, news media (an arm of the government) and I no longer trust the people in positions of power to be honest have integrity or respect for their fellow man.
All of the above agencies mentioned are headed by sodomists, homosexuals and sympathizers. as well as transgender people all misfits and abnormal people.
We need to talk about the new BILL, TPP THAT OBAMA AND CONGRESS IS PUSHING THROUGH IN A DISHONES MANNER AS WAS THE (OBAMA CARE) THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH OUR BOGUS DISHONEST CONGRESS. THEY WILL KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BILL "AFTER" IT IS PASSEDWE THE PEOPLE LET US NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO US AGAIN.
THIS ACT, TPP DOES MORE HARM THAN CAN BE IMAGINED TO US
OUR CONSTITUTION WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED IN OUR LIVESTHE CORPORATIONS WILL HAVE POWER OVER US TO MAKE LAW
AN EXAMPLE: IN THIS BILL THERE WILL BE NO MORE INSPECTION OF OUR MEAT AND NO LABELING OF COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.DO YOU WANT THAT? I DON'T. THIS KILLS OUR FARMERS AND OUR ABILITY TO SUPPORT OURSELVES IN OUR OWN COUNTRY
THIS BILL ALLOWS US TO BE FED BY WHATEVER FOREIGN COUNTRIES WANT TO SEND US.
DON'T BELIEVE LIES FROM OUR GOVERNMENT AKA CORPORATIONS SINCE THEY ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MONEY THEY MAKE IN THEIR "PORTFOLIOS"
THEY GET TO EAT NON TAINTED FOOD. FLY WITHOUT BEING EXRAYED OR HAVE YOUR BODY ASSAULTED BY LOW LEVEL GOVERNMENT WORKERS HIRED FROM PRISONS.
LAST AND VERY IMPORTANT: AN OPENLY GAY DEMOCRAT FROM COLORADO I THINK HE IS A SENATOR BUT COULD BE A REPESENTATIVE HAS DEMANDED THAT THIS
OBAMA BILL THE TPP ACT NOT TRADE WITH COUNTRIES THAT DON'T ACCEPT HOMOSEXUALITY AND TRANSGENDER PEOPLETHIS OPENLY GAY MAN IS SETTING THE AGENDA FOR OUR COUNTRY AND ITS LAWS AND POSSIBLE WARS BECAUSE OF THESE AGENDAS
PEOPLE UNLESS WE CORRECT ALL OF THIS WE ARE LOST.

It seems we have government agencies paid by tax dollars we have an asleep congress and no watch dog organizations doing their job.
The reporting of the courageous police officer who answered a call about an out of control mob which these black teens were is ok. (OK of course as long as it is not the homes of the liberals being destroyed, making false reports about the police officer.)
I have not seen one honest report not even the phony FOX News organization. It is the media's agenda to attack not only POLICEMEN BUT WHITE POLICEMEN AND WHITE PEOPLE IN GENERAL.
Where is our Congress defending the new minority WHITE PEOPLE?
THE TRUTH NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT THE BLACKS ARE NOT A MINORITY BUT HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE TO HOLD THE TITLE "MINORITY" IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO BE A "PRIVELEGED CLASS" AND RECEIVE FREE COLLEGE, AND ALL SCHOOLING FREE AS WELL AS FREE BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER. FREE PHONES COMPUTERS AND PAID SERVICE AND SO MUCH MORE.
LOWERED TEST SCORES SO THEY CAN PROMOTE DOCTORS, LAWYERS, JOURNALISTS, JUDGES AND ALL WITH INFERIOR MINDS BECAUSE OF LOWERED ABILITY.
THIS TEEN THUG GIRL WHOSE AGE HAS GONE FROM 16, 15, 14 ETC..REPORTED BY BLACK JOURNALISTS AS "THE BABY"
THE REAL TRUTH THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS THE NEW TWANA BRAWLEY.
BEING TRAINED TO BE AN ACTIVIST AND A RACIST TOWARD WHITE PEOPLE AND POLICE. ESPECIALLY IF THE POLICE ARE WHITE.
SHE IS A LIAR AND BACKED UP BY HER FAMILY.
THE AGENDA IS TO RUIN THE LIVES OF HONEST POLICEMEN ON THE CUSP OF THESE LYING AGENDA DRIVEN TEENS. TAUGHT TO BE SO BY THE BLACK FALSE CLERGY AND PARENTS. HOW ABOUT A BACKGROUND CHECK ON ALL OF THOSE INVOLVED?
OH THATS RIGHT, THIS IS ONLY DONE ON JOSH DUGGAR A 14 YEAR OLD SEALED REPORT.
I DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY.
PEOPLE IT IS TIME WE ORGANISE AND START GOING AFTER BOGUS NEWS AND LIBERAL CHARLATANS AND BLACK RACISTS. -

Yahoo writers and liberals. How dare you exploit the Duggar Family with fake news.
The gays, lesbians and all other transgenders and all abnormal people are using the government agencies to attack and assault this family.
The new NBC today show and in touch magazine false reporting should be considered a criminal offense punishable by jail and fines.
The story as reported said an anonymous caller to the child abuse hotline gave the Duggar address and the hotline agent made the decision to send the police to this good families home.
We pay taxes to be used honestly not abused by people with an agenda.
I want a thorough investigation of health and human services in Arkansas as well as the agent who dispatched the police to the Duggar home named with picture as well as the person who called in the abuse of child report. This phone number can easily be had and the caller and agency the person works for exposed! IMMEDIATELY
If every person with an agenda did these anonymous calls there would be CHAOS.
I WANT AN INVESTIGATION FROM CONGRESS AND ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND IF IT IS NBC, AND IN TOUCH MAGAZINE AS WELL AS THE TODAY SHOW HOSTS WE NEED TO EXPOSE THIS DANGEROUS TREND.
