It is true that when one news source presents the news from a left-of-center, and when they act as an aggregator tor many other news sites and then you have other sources like Breitbart and OAN occupying the other end, it appears that yahoo has a left wing bias.
Comparison is a funny thing. Perhaps the true fault here is that of god's, for creating a reality that, when reported on, often undermines the reactionary conservative's perception of reality

Michael, the law is clear here. Yahoo is not a government organization: it is their prerogative to either allow people to comment on news stories or not.
Your first amendment rights are not the freedom to speak wherever about whatever you want to: it only states that the GOVERNMENT may not take away your right to speech.
Yahoo, you have an opportunity to shut down a platform that people have used in bad faith to divide the country. Have the moral courage to shutter the comments section for good.

Agree!
RE: Gregario; while i appreciate the optimism of your point, in practice yhir rarely happens. This is not wikipedia, and the general public tends to gather information through second-and-third hand sources. Its like a game of telephone. Should they have something to add, send a politely worded e-mail to the editor so the article can be amended.
As it currently stands, the reactions section exists so racist and bigoted talking points can get upvoted; there are so few reasonable voices that the entire section is UNUSABLE.
Throw the trolls out, yahoo. Close the door on comments. This isn't a grand public square in which ideas are debated on the merits; its a zoo and somebody left all the cages open.

First amendment states that the government will not infringe on your right to free speech. It says nothing about Oath & Yahoo!.
Better idea? Delete the reactions section!

The reactions sections are filled with the worst mankind has to offer. Top voted reactions tend to be reactionary, racist, hateful. and conspiratorial. What's more, the top reaction is automatically displayed on headline stories on mobile devices, effectively acting as a sub-headline for the news illiterate.
America needs healing, and this comment space is inflammatory. It is beyond moderation, and beyond redemption. Delete it and allow people to share through other social platforms.

Even the feedback section of Yahoo! News is littered with toxic discourse re: "conservatives vs. liberals".
End it. Delete the comments section. Its unmoderateable, and full of pointless mud slinging. These semi-anonymous platforms where people are only represented by black text on a white screen only act to mask the humanity of individuals and bring out the worst in all of us, collectively.
We shouldn't be interacting with each other and the news like this. It's not good for individuals, its not good for their communities, and its not good for the country as a whole.
Chuck it. Have the moral courage to throw the comments section in the garbage.
