Yahoo! opinion pieces regarding the Rittenhouse trial.

You will not allow comments but allow bias opinion articles? This is trying to influence the trial outcomes. I believe Yahoo is in cahoots with all liberal media to glorify criminals. George Floyd was declared every good thing except a saint. In reality, he was a thug.

Rioters and Looters in Seattle get a free pass on Yahoo for criminal acts but protestors on Jan. 6th need jail time.

Yahoo, YOU are THE PROBLEM in society

Desired outcome: Remove opinion pieces if comments aren't allowed. I have an opinion that I would like to express.

Yahoo! Article Comments

I would like to know when Yahoo is going to re-instate article commenting. It has been a few years since we could last comment; the statement about temporarily suspending is inaccurate.

Desired outcome: Enable comments to be left by readers of articles.

Yahoo! So called Yahoo "News" article about the richest politicians & celebrities

This rubbish article has estimated the wealth of many U.S.A, British & Canadian richest people. Specifically, A) the estimates of their wealth are often ludicrously inaccurate. For example, Trump is said to have $2.4 Billion and is called a former *Vice* President. But Forbes magazine says he's now worth less than $1 Billion. And B) many of the political profiles state or imply that their subjects made their money from their political positions. For example, Nancy Pelosi could EASILY sue Yahoo for *clearly stating* that her wealth comes from her political activity !
Also, the article's standard of written English is appalling -- it seems highly likely that the writer's first language is NOT English !

Desired outcome: Immediately delete this article and NEVER publish such rubbish again.

Yahoo! Front page

Hello,
I'm sorry, but much of your front page news is irrelevant, media heavy and disgusting. Do we really have to know about every bikini and thong clad event that is covered by stupid, mindless reporting.
Please clean up your act, or give me some kind of intelligent, alternative page to display.

Yahoo! Yahoo (Fake/Biased) News

re: Beth Ann Mayer's October 22, 2021 biased/Fake news piece. Yahoo DOES NOT provide a safe and engaging place, ...rather a fascist, Woke place that promotes the pluralist ideas of the Regressive Left. Breastmilk is not a static fluid, ...it contains Stem Cells and more than 300 separate ingredients, including advanced immunity protection, progenitor cells, lactocytes, and myoepithelial cells. . Did you know that nursing moms produce much richer breast milk for their sons than for daughters?

Desired outcome: Remove Yahoo's biased, cancel culture suspended comments.

Yahoo! search for best men's flannel shirts

This morning, I was taking the advice of many to start my holiday shopping.
Wanting to get my husband and possibly others a "good" flannel shirt, I did some searches for 'Best names or brands of flannel shirts", and came across this advertisement for "[censored]ing Awesome heavy flannel overskirt". This appears on the Yahoo page. Above it is a gq.com advertisement for their website.
I clicked on the gq.com website, and nowhere do I see "[censored]ing Awesome heavy flannel overskirt".
That led me to believe this is a Yahoo problem.

Desired outcome: Take off the word "[censored]ing", of [censored]ing Awesome heavy flannel overshirt. When I go to the gq.com website, the word "[censored]ing" isn't there.

Yahoo! News spy ad

In my research i have found out that the news spy ad is a csam." they say its a game changer", it is not "they say you can make money with bitcoin" this is also a csam.
There are non clickable links, you can not click on the links this is on the telegraph news pluse five other.
"They say you can make millions online on it" its a rip off, it sounds go but it is utter rubish.
The man called robert w but calls him self simon who actually prevents cross contamination in the kitchen, they are all fake and the seconperson as been on scams before.
And to put sean connerys name and photo on there ad is very disrespectful of a dead holywood actor, is ad must be removed now

Yahoo! Yahoo articles

I am writing to serve as a voice for those who are troubled these days by the lack of impartiality in articles you choose to run.  In particular, with regards to the vaccine topic.  You have run a plethora of articles which all have one thing in common. They are blindingly pro-vaccine, with absolutely no alternate views ever given the time of day.  It's not a matter of being pro-science, as there have been a not-inconsequential number of people who have suffered severe adverse events from the mrna vaccines, who have suffered blood clots or other debilitating events, and quite a few have even died as a result.  To bring this up is not misinformation, it is a fact.  The main issue is, the vaccines are new. They have not gone through the painstaking rigorous testing that other vaccines have gone through.  The Pfizer vaccine was given FDA approval with no advisory committee informing the public of all the facts on both sides of the debate, backed up with clinical data. Instead all we ever get from the government and the media is one-sided rainbows and sunshine fluff pieces masquerading as legitimate journalism where everyone parrots the same tired line about the vaccines' efficacy and safety. Wherein all data that contradicts this illogically rosy view is censored except for accepted truths which the establishment has deemed acceptable.  This is why many of us "vaccine-hesitant" are standing resolute in our convictions. We have science on our side as well.  & a hallmark of science is not to surround oneself in an echo chamber sequestered from facts one doesn't like, and then claim one's own view as gospel truth. We've never experienced open censorship of what should be a topic that is fully fleshed out, the good, bad, and the ugly.  Never have we witnessed such unabashed thought-policing on a topic which by its very nature, deserves and necessitates an open and honest debate.  The truth is out there in medical journals, and in testimonials by the very people who won't be given a platform to voice their experiences by default. For those of us who work in the medical field, we don't have the luxury of sticking our heads in the sand and looking the other way.   There is a reason why so many vaccine hesitant are in health care.  We are more educated than most on the topic, and witness behind the scenes all that the government and mainstream media would like to pretend is ultra-rare. A great many of us are not anti-vaxxers, and many of us agree with the mask mandates, but not the vaccine mandates.  Don't paint us all with the same wide brush. You have a duty to the truth, in all its nuances and shades. Nothing is so black and white.  I implore you to rise up to the standard in journalism set by your forebears, and not succumb to the heavily-censored group-think travesty that mainstream news has become.  Thank You for reading. I really hope to see a change in the bias of content in your articles in the future.

Desired outcome: For Yahoo's articles to become more balanced

Yahoo's new policy of censoring message content has done more to kill freedom of speech in this country than the liberal media. Any comment that is negative towards minorities are rejected, while any messages negative about white people are posted in with no censorship.

Yahoo! Articles

Seriously your choice of articles is such untrue garbage. You don't fact check anything.Sadly I remember when Yahoo used to be a leader in news and technology and now you have become a dump of garbage propaganda and censorship. As a long time user of yahoo products it pains me to say that after over thirty years I feel it necessary to stop using your products and services anymore.

Desired outcome: Become a real news and technology and service again.

Sadly... I agree with the perspective that Yahoo has lost it integrity in the news media. They have become so biased in their liberal politics that I am seriously reducing my use of their products . Why not try to present both sides of the issue ? News and political commentary is one thing that has its place in our society ... propaganda is not valued nor honorable.

Yahoo! articles and media bias

Yahoo is one of the most biased and targets articles towards politicians other than Liberal Democrats.
I live in Florida and your thinking the Governor of this State is going to run for President they, instill false and misinformation. Every time they get a chance you target this man and pass outlandish simple minded small attacks.

I don't know where your operatives come from but I'm pretty sure they graduated from some Slack Jawed Liberal University.

I'm out and will not tolerate your BS anymore.

Yahoo! Travel Road Bed Outdoor Hard Shell Roof Tent

This item was advertised in mid July. I ordered it since it was advertised on Yahoo thinking this was a legit seller...WRONG! Does Yahoo screen prospective sellers & items? I had to contact the seller for tracking # and was informed the item originating from China. When it was "delivered" all that was left at my mailbox was the "free" camping lantern. Interesting that the return address was a New York address & different company name! Emailed seller and began a long back & forth email correspondence. They 1st offered a $5 refund! Then slowly upped their amount until finally the full amount of my purchase was agreed upon for refund. Then, they tell me it is in a review process which I asked why when we were emailing for the refund amount...no refund after 2 weeks from that email!

Desired outcome: Prosecution of the Seller and my refund of $47.96

Yahoo! Yahoo Mail app for android phone

I have been using the yahoomail for a while now. I've recently switched from iPhone to an android phone, and I decided to install the Yahoo Mail app on my android phone.
The mail app has lots of issues that I've noticed. Messages are coming in OK, but don't make a mistake of forwarding a message, because if you do and you later decided to reply the original sender, the reply will be sent to the person you forward the message to, not the original sender. Using the "Reply All" option did not help either. I have made this mistake a number of times before realising that my replies were being sent to the wrong recipient.

I think Yahoo should take more time to test their mail app, especially the "Reply" and "Reply All" options, and how it affects forwarding messages. It is very frustrating to use.

Desired outcome: When I click the "reply all" option, I expect the message to be sent to the original sender, not the person I forward the message to.

Yahoo! Ad company stealing money from customers

Hi I ordered an item that was advertised on yahoo from company called Lotershoe, they had a 2 seat wagon I purchased for $48, but they sent me some other much cheaper ($.50) item that was not part of ad or purchase.
They are refusing to refund as on their site they guarantee refund.
They mislead steal customers money as you can see in their emails they try to cheat customers out of money by offering a small refund…
Seems they have been stealing defrauding people for long time.
I believe all these ads on yahoo are by same person misleading stealing funds by taking orders and failing to ship items that were paid for.
Thank you

Absolutely not your $5 is NOT acceptable you people steal customers money and send them garbage I want full refund $47 for my merchandise that I ordered.

They have multiple sites to defraud people with the help of paypal and american credit card companies.

Paypal wants me to pay the return shipping cost. Looking at the return address it looks fake.

Shame on you Paypal.
