Every time I click on Yahoo there are multiple negative Trump stories up and many are of a partisan nature.

#1 Rick Newman of Yahoo Finance has an article up blasting Trump for being for the rich and supporting trickle down economics.

Rick Newman didn't write a single article on Obama doing more trickle down economics in sheer dollars than Reagan himself. Every single Fed pick big or small Obama made was to a QE trickle down pusher, which inflated the wealth gap - the 1% loved Obama's support for QE trickle down. If Obama opposed Fed policy he could have simply spoke out against it or not kept picking people pushing trillions of dollars worth of a trickle down policy.


#2 In another article about Trump the headline from the main page is "Trump could hurt homeowners."

When you read it, what Trump is doing to hurt homeowners is laughable.

Obama on January 9th...after nearly 8 whole years in office and 99.9% of his time in office over - authorized a fee reduction in FHA loans to take place under Trump. The fee reduction has not yet gone into effect. Trump is likely to cancel the fee reduction that Obama did in his waning hours of his presidency...

Two points...A) Trump is not hurting homeowners as the fee reduction never was in effect and B) if this fee reduction was so important, why Did Obama wait until the extreme end of his 8 years to do it --- so it would happen under Trump?



Is Yahoo becoming a hyper-partisan site no different than Huffington Post, Red State, etc...

You don't even have to look at Yahoo.

All those anti-Trump derangement articles will get linked here as topics.

Yahoo is becoming partisan? They have been that way for years. I consider them not to be a true news source, but right up there with the tabloids.

Yahoo is mostly just a news aggregator. They don't make a whole lot of original content.

Of course the Trump deranged will see the headers on these articles and create a thread without reading the article first. After all, they are in a big rush to be the first one to post the next anti-Trump article they think they see.

I have notice it for over a year now... just like NYT, LA Times, WaPo, and CNN... it's what happens when Trump is winning, when he does really well, they go into overdrive smear campaigns... it must work cause Cosmo, GQ, People, etc are suddenly filling up Yahoo with their Fake News.... you think Salon is bad... hehehe... the anti-Trumpers must love it because it's just pure click bait for them...

They've gotten much worse. Yahoo and AOL. Google News also selectively edits their stories in a sneaky way to bash Trump pretty much 24/7.

Drudge does it on the right, but he doesn't pretend to be impartial like the others.

And a lot of news stories are just barely news anymore. They throw a sprinkling of cherry-picked facts into gallons of opinion and call it a news story. CNN leads the way with that nonsense.

Heaven knows Trump couldn't possibly be getting bad press for doing a pretty rotten job. It must be a conspiracy.
