Yahoo! yahoo "news"

I am very upset that the news is so biased toward Hillary Clinton. Why when an investigation is reopened do you search for reasons and quote people who discredit it. On top of that, any and everything you can report negative about the republican party you through out there like its important. So disappointed. Not looking to you for news anymore. We live in a time where the press is no longer trusted. I have a degree in Journalism, and ethic 101 was always be non biased. I am so disappointed that the mainstream reporters twist everything and create stories, to get traffic.

Yahoo writer's personal views drive destructive content instead of providing well researched, pithy news articles that are beneficial to American. Yahoo, like multiple other media sources, antagonize and in sighting fear in their readers for profit. Yahoo has become the lowest form of journalism equivalent to a gossip column. Yahoo is no longer a credible news source.

Yahoo! bias news alerts

I consistently get news notifications on a daily basis, which I haven't minded. But recently I have been receiving the most ridiculous news stories about the least little thing happening with trump that somebody makes up because they can't find anything truly substantial making him unfit to be my president! Yet not one news alert has been posted about the consistant daily factual news that comes out on hillary and the dnc! All the proof of the horrific corruption spewing from the clintons & their minions has been in black and white in emails and on video! But yahoo says nothing? I received another alert just now saying "trump hasn't spent the hundred million extra he said he would spend on campaigning before election day"! Wth?! He has already spent hundreds of millions of his own money on his campaign! Hillary hasn't spent a dime of her own money, she's getting it through all her back room corruption no one wants to talk about! How bout you send an alert out on that?!
I have been a customer for 14 years & I am now physically ill that you would join in the bias reporting and help in the corruption! I know you think we haven't noticed or that hillary has more supporters so its ok... But... Sorry to burst your hillary bubble but trump has more supporters than hillary, hands down! Wake up! Her corruption is coming to an end and you, along with all her other bought and paid for media, are going to look like complete fools when trump becomes the president and hillary's taking that perp walk! Then you'll be kissing trump's butt and acting like you didn't know hillary and the dnc was so corrupt! Do not send anymore of your fake stupid trump hate ads to me again!

I agree with BuggyChris's complaint. In this election, Republicans proved they are tired of watching Democrats destroy national patriotism, morals and values of America by electing a pro-active, no nonsense Republican President into office. Yahoo limited their readership by targeting a specific demographic. Not a very smart decision for a large corporation to make. As a consumer of online news, Yahoo seems to encourage their writers to post destructive content. Yahoo, like multiple other media sources, antagonize and in sighting fear in their readers for profit. Yahoo has become the lowest form of journalism equivalent to a gossip column. Yahoo is no longer a credible news source.

Yahoo is primarily an extreme or far left sources, rarely conservative sources. It rarely prefers articles based on opinion instead of actual facts. During this election cycle many new liberal sites have been created just to be referenced by sites such as Yahoo, so that Yahoo can be "above the fray". Even when comments contain actual facts or data or links to to actual facts or data, Yahoo very carefully ignores these in later articles.

In spite of the immense amount of well documented information about widespread corruption in most of the departments the Obama administration and many parts of the Clinton campaign, Yahoo ignores this and concentrates references derogatory comments directed to Trump.

The proof is clear. Yahoo is an extremely leftist source that prefers the continuation of government corruption and destruction of the US to unfortunate comments by Republican sources.

You sad little man. I seriously doubt your "no more advertising" on Yahoo will harm them in the least.
IF you had a legitimate complaint Yahoo might answer your concerns but this childish whining about their so called bias is LAUGHABLE.

You have no common sense. Yahoo rarely writes their own political articles. 99% of them come from Reuters, AP, Washington Post, NY Times, etc. News medias from around the worlds are publishing articles about Trump's antics. Yahoo simply ads them to their site. And based on the popularity of the subject THATS what determines the more or less of these articles. So the MORE you click on the headlines and the MORE you comment it only perpetuates more stories.

Did you EVER stop and THINK just ONCE that if Trump wasn't constantly shooting his mouth off there might just be less to say about him? hmm?

Yahoo! business email

Delay in service x 2 months. Coordinated with customer service in 2015. They said they would provide a 30% discount during 2016 billing cycle. In 2016 coordinated with yahoo regarding said discount, which was not reflected in the invoice. Provided incident number from 2015. After 1.5 hrs on phone they denied ever offering said discount despite incident number reflecting told situation. Then notified yahoo that I will discontinue services. Checked billing information and made sure the payment would not be authorized. 2 weeks later the charged unauthorized payment. I in NO WAY authorized this payment via their online database. They simply had my billing information on file and charged at their whim! Called billing services and was on phone for 1 hr+. They refused to refund money of $34.95 and did not lay claim to any part of the series of unfortunate events. Once I shared that I will dispute charge with my bank and report to BBB they placed me on hold to talk to their supervisor and they never transferred me through to the supervisor. Stayed on hold additional .5 hrs and was told they will refund me. Wasn't sent a confirmation email of incident or refund. Was only provided an incident number. I hope they follow through with said refund...

Yahoo! yahoo hijacking

Yahoo took over my google engine. I uninstalled everything google and yahoo and I switched to explorer and yahoo took over that as well. Selecting default or uninstall/reinstall did not work; their malware infiltrated my entire computer. Frustrated I sent a nasty email to yahoo headquarters and 2 days later my computer completely crashed. I have no way of replacing my lap top computer in my financial state.

Yahoo! yahoo's idiocy

This :always" happens. I log-in to yahoo correctly then they are supposed to send a code They never do-and my telephone number has not changed. What for? Either you are paranoid or there is a $$$ incentive for you to. I most assuredly is not convenient nor is it necessary. I have been waiting now for an entire day but you [censored]s tell me I have asked for the code too many times and you have to wait 24 hours to do it again..

I feel like telling you what you are worth, but if you are Gringos, your head honcho will attempt to get me in trouble. Go ahead AXX holes

Yahoo! exchanging the picture

I can't just exchange my picture in my account on the Personal Info page on my Yahoo email page.
I could not find no information about this simple activity, no possibility to do it.
Also I was very unhappy that Yahoo has not any email contacts for asking a question. Everything that I've seen is not answer my question.

Say to me, how can I do what I want?

Yahoo! I cannot type a simple email

I cannot type a simple email because your system pops up ads on the side bar. When they are revolving your email page will not allow me to type anything: it simply stops waiting for ad to display. This would be ok but your stupid ads rotate every 9 seconds or less. Every time the system will not let me type a simple email. Change it or i am moving to google! My email address is [protected]@bellsouth.Net they use your service. I will simply move my email to another service if nothing changed by 9/3/16. This is not a threat just a simple business decision.

This is not an indication of malware. It is Yahoo SPAM! I never had advertising on my Yahoo email until I moved from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome about two months ago. It is completely unbearable. I have high speed internet, but it now takes twice as long to review my email because it is so slow due to loading the ads. The screen freezes constantly. My Gmail account works fine and has no advertising. I tried going back to Internet Explorer, but it now has the advertising also and is just as slow. If I use my phone, there are no ads. Problem is I subscribe to newsletters and receive many long emails. I can't read all of that on my phone. I have used Yahoo for my email for probably 20 years. I am done. This is unbelievable frustrating! I would not reward one of the advertisers by clicking on any of the ads even if they were selling brand new cars for $100!

Yahoo! utterly disturbing and upsetting

Yahoo news- does anyone really need to tell you that posting a story about some sick and twisted psychopaths abusing and subsequently slitting a dogs throat on social is not a good idea? Not only is it utterly disturbing and upsetting, you are also giving the perpetrators exactly what they want- attention.

My complaint is also regarding stories about torture to animals. People the think this is news have to be sick themselves. Perhaps you should have a separate category labeled 'Animal torture and abuse stories'. Only the depraved of mind would be interested in reading these 'stories. For you information there are published magazines that contain nothing but gore and videos that can be bought on the internet of animal torture. Yahoo is just one step behind.

Yahoo! biased media

Yahoo as most media have shown their anti Trump pro Hillary coverage of this 2016 presidential election. This sort of journalism would only be expected in the Soviet Union. I like many others are disappointed of this biased journalism, it is another encroachment of our foundation of American Freedom with such dictatorship coverage of an election. Some of your CEO's should get out out of the pockets of Corporate America and their political puppets in all branches of government and report on the unbiased truth and facts of both candidates. Let the American people make an informed decision based on unbiased, truthful reporting, which was the reason of the creation of journalism, for which many of its founders suffered extreme repercussions.

Yahoo! email service

Ever since you introduced advertising on our email pages, my experience has gone to hell. You say, in that mealy-mouthed marketing babble that "your feedback is used to improve your Yahoo experience". No it's not! It's not used at all because I keep getting the same totally irrelevant ads slowing down and frustrating my "email experience", fo what?

So that Yahoo!, having forced this advertising upon us, can now charge us $5/month to remove it? That's just like the old Mafia protection racket which deservedly received prison terms. Yahoo! should get the same. The service has gone to hell cince Marissa Mayer took over - she's another Carlt Fiorina!

I want my old Yahoo! back. To hell with your lousy management.

Yahoo! news website

I get all my news from you. Lately, when I click on a news article, it opens up in another window, but then it's only one paragraph and then it makes me hit another tab that opens in another window. What's up with that? Why can't you just let me click the news article and read it in the new window, like it's always been done before? This is getting so frustrating that I might have to get my news elsewhere. I am on a limited data plan, so every window that opens costs me!

Negative coverage of Trump. Your main news headlines are more left leaning regardless of what is making news at the time. Facebook got nailed for this sort of thing, I hope Yahoo is next. Considering G mail for my usage.

I am strongly condem Yahoo news on its news and articles about Turkey.You can easily have the exact figures and probably understand only few of them informing and honest.Vast majority of them includes full of lies and “hate” messages.Any ideas or touhgts are ok but Freedom of speech which is higly precious for all the people on earth must not use as a tool on the hands of hate mongers.
Yahoo as a giant company can not be used as a base of hate mongers.If necessary steps is not taken we can be sure of its a management decision and switch to Gmail.

Yahoo! hacking my email and removing all emails in my inbox

I have been a customer of yahoo company for several years. My email has been hacked in last month and a person sent some email by my name to my contacts and this issue created a lot of problems for me. I had conducted a lot of research and I finally found that it was related to my password. After that, I have decided to change me password several times and I bought a Kasper's Antiviral for protecting my passwords. However, today when I open my email, I found that all emails in my inbox has been removed and there is any email in my inbox. There were a lot of important emails in my inbox and it can create a lot of problems. I want to complain to Yahoo Company about this issue. Please let me know what should I do in this situation.

Holy crap, I have been a customer for years, changing my home page to yahoo.com, I have a few email accounts but lately they have changed there pages. email is slow and when you follow links on there home page you get hammered with ad's, not just the pesky ones but whole pages launch. I'm giving them 3 more months then I'm switching to someone else. The new design makes you launch into another page if you want to read more than 5 line of txt, not cool.
