Yahoo! Your extreme left article agenda!

Will you please present articles and comments that support both republican and democratic views? I assume all writers took an oath to report true and unbiased news and your web site has completely ignored this philosophy! Americans expect and deserve honest and unbiased news! You had no problem showing complete lies about republican issues while running total lies about anything associated with the democrat's agenda! Shame on you and anyone who you allow to report or run articles for you! If you can't provide equal and responsible stories than shut down your site!

Desired outcome: You can reply to me at [protected]@yahoo.com.

Yahoo! Your ads

Every time I go on Amazon to look at something, this very item appears in my Yahoo email. I think this is called invasion of privacy. What if I don't want someone in my household to see what I am looking at. My husband's birthday is coming up and I don't want him to see what I am looking to buy him. This is very irritating. Stop the personal ads appearing in my email page.

Desired outcome: Stop the personal ads

I'm tired of clearing Yahoo's COVID updates from my phone. That lie is long gone. What I would like is an update on how many people have died and gone to the emergency rooms after their shots. Of course when I find a video about how over 5 thousand people have died, conservatively, YouTube takes it down. Just like they took down the "VIRUS came China" vids 6 months ago. If it doesn't fit "their" narrative its taken down. We can't even talk about it... so much for FREE SPEECH.

Desired outcome: Stop updating the lie.

Yahoo! Comments

I am truly sick of the lie that you are trying to "create a safe and engaging place". For the past eleven (11) months all you have done is propagandize your point of view without allowing any other point of view. If the people who read the comments cannot do so without crying, perhaps they should not engage in discourse with adults. Perhaps YOU should quit trying to determine how and what others should say.

Desired outcome: Knock off the lies and allow others to speak.

Yahoo! Postings by opinion writers while the public cannot

this is on your page today...
"Leonard Pitts Jr.
Fri, June 18, 2021, 11:15 AM
Conservatives have a special purgatory for uppity black women who dare question America's founding myths."
As a conservative, I find that blanket statement deeply offensive. that is certainly NOT my opinion, why are opinion writers allowed to spew hatred like that on your platform while the public is banned from responding?
some organization you have going there.

Desired outcome: stop all hate speech

to me

I need to remind you Kelly that you chose to engage me in this public email (I didn't know your email address) with some rather bizarre comments regarding where I work and accusations about beer consumption which as a very committed recovering alcoholic I found extremely offensive if not slanderous. I'm sorry that literacy is not your strong suit but the messages you've sent have been very hard to decipher but if you believe an apology was in there one of us is delusional and it isn't me. In closing my advice to you is quit while you're behind. But I had better not find out that you have been sharing your lies about alcohol consumption or legal action may be in the future. Have a good night!

I am sick and tired of telling Yahoo to stop showing me certain publishers on your home page every time I open my internet to Yahoo.com. I tell you to stop using the steps you outline in your instructions and you just increase the number of articles that come to me from that publisher. The publishers are Sports Wire and Sports Edge locations I am not interested in since they are not in my area. Also, you keep sending me Vouge a a publisher and Tenn Vouge. I am a male and not interested in these. In addition you send me articles on NASCAR and I am not interested in those as well. Either stop or I am going to move to another vendor!

Yahoo! News

the news that I continue to see on my Yahoo page, is for one, not factual at all. Your continue push of the false claims of Trump. You WERE better than that. I've surfed silently for quite a while. I will no longer. If this cant be addressed, at least for my account, I and the rest of my family and employees will delete this application, and will have it blocked from my business and its cpu's. Yahoo has always been better than this. Why the aggressive media tactics now?

Desired outcome: No more pushing of conspiracy lies. quit giving him a podium to spread such lies. this is where your responsibility lies. I await your reply. If respected with one.

Yahoo! Yahoo Mail

One of your users continually sends me abusive and racist emails. I have repeatedly asked him to stop and he will not.

His name is John Haggard and the email he uses is [protected]@yahoo.com

I have included an excerpt from one of his recent emails so you can see the kind of garbage he continually sends me:

The experiment has failed. Not because of white culture, or white privilege, or white racism. The fundamental problem is that American black culture has evolved into an un-fixable and crime ridden mess. They do not want to change their culture or society, and expect others to tolerate their violence and amoral behavior. They have become socially incompatible with other races by their own design, not because of the racism of others - but by their own hatred of non-blacks.

Our leaders don't seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment. They don't understand that white people aren't out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity. The elites explain everything with racism, and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point."

Desired outcome: I believe you should revoke his privilege to use your software to spread hate and racism.

I am changing over to Google for my home page. I am so tired of your homepage filled with pictures of women in swimwear that shows almost their entire naked body
Every day is an article OR TWO about the kardashian women and men changed into women.
Today is a picture of a naked woman nursing her baby while standing on her head.
Your homepage is almost porno. No news about the US or the world, it is only entertainment news about celebrities and I just don't care to see another famous person in their thong, on their boat, or on their boat in their thong.

Yahoo! Article by Stephen Crockett

May 14th 2021. Steven Crockett's report from the Root has racist words "Fox News' KKK: Kaftans, Klans and Krazies" and disgusting descriptions of Florida. Why did Yahoo allow this to be printed? If I as a white man said those things I'd be banned for good! Please delete this article ASAP!
Oh, my complaint might not be read because it's too short. ok
Stephen A. Crockett Jr.
Fri, May 14, 2021, 3:30 PM

So one day God was on a bender. He was going through a bad break up and was really tying one on. Well, because God is God, he got hungry and the only thing open was a place called Ted's Chili Hole. He'd never eaten there but figured how bad could it be? After 17 bowls of chili and cheese, God stumbled into the parking lot where he vomited and thus, Florida was born.

Florida, the armpit of America.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis continues his journey to be the whitest white man who has ever whited. During an appearance on Fox News' KKK: Kaftans, Klans and Krazies (seriously, who knows the names of any of these shows) DeSantis noted that COVID-19 mandates were a total government overreach and he plans to pardon any outlaws who refused to follow them.

"When our clemency board meets in the coming weeks, we'll issue pardons—not only for Mike and Jillian, but for any Floridian that may have outstanding infractions for things like masks and social distancing, " DeSantis said, the Washington Post reports.

The Mike and Jillian that DeSantis is referring to are Mike and Jillian Carnevale, the Florida gym owners who opened their gym despite local pandemic rules telling them to shut down. They were first arrested on July 27 for violating the county's mask mandate. The couple were arrested again on Aug. 6 and ordered to shut down the gym. They were released on Aug. 7 and promptly reopened the gym and were arrested again that day.

DeSantis, has spent the majority of his time in office showing former President Donald Trump how good he can hold things down, hoping that one day the president will realize that he's a much better ball carrier than South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. Obviously I'm talking about golf.

DeSantis has balked at COVID-19 mandates from the beginning, calling his state an "oasis of freedom" even as case numbers spiked over the winter, the Post reports. Just last week, DeSantis "signed a law suspending all coronavirus restrictions across Florida beginning July 1 and issued executive orders allowing him to supersede any local emergency measures such as mask mandates, school closures and business restrictions. Last September, he also suspended fines and penalties for those violating local ordinances, " the Post reports.

Florida, folks. America's [censored].

In March, one-half of the outlaws, turned down a plea deal in March, and now "faces 120 days in jail on two second-degree misdemeanor charges, while Jillian could see 60 days for one second-degree misdemeanor."

"Effective tomorrow morning, I'm going to sign a reprieve under my constitutional authority, so that will delay the case for 60 days against both of them, " DeSantis said, adding that anyone else who violated local pandemic mandates during that time would also be pardoned.

DeSantis added that it's "not even right" to wear masks while exercising.

"The World Health Organization advises against it, " he said. "It's not healthy for people to be doing that in the first place, so it was a bad restriction."

Look, the mask mandate during workouts was super confusing.

"Last December, the WHO said that people should not wear masks during ‘vigorous intensity physical activity, '" the Post reports. "But in February, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offered the opposite guidance, urging people to wear masks while doing intense workouts, pointing to case studies showing that gyms had repeatedly been superspreaders of the virus."

Then it was announced that gyms were superspreader places, so the CDC definitely wanted folks wearing masks and gyms to have better ventilation.

DeSantis added that public health guidelines "should be advisory, " not "punitive."

"And so we're happy to use our constitutional authority, " the governor said. "I think they've been treated poorly, and fortunately, they've got a governor that cares."

Desired outcome: For yahoo to no longer accept article from the author

Yahoo! one sided viewpoint

For well over a year yahoo ( as the host for att.net) has incessantly pushed out one sided, biased news stories, some would term propaganda only to include " the comment section has been temporarily disabled" as if it somehow was to be excused till ... the future . Over a year now this still remains the rule without exception. This censorship and lack of mechanisms to allow a differing opinion is clearly censorship and shuts down any contrasting viewpoint or experience . This unamerican tactic is without merit and serves only to disenfranchise 50% of Americans, who by their very existence should be allowed to comment . What the hell are you worried about Yahoo ?

Desired outcome: open up the comment section
