Warning: Yahoo News sometimes reprints content from right wing websites.

I've already posted this point in a reply to this post, but let me expand. The byline in the Yahoo News article linked in that post is marked with the logo of conservative website Daily Caller. Tucker Carlson founded the Daily Caller.

Also, certain articles have a logo on the byline of The Blaze, a site founded by Glenn Beck. Like this one.

Please be advised of that, if you regularly post Yahoo News articles here.

Also, as if this isn't bad enough (Yahoo News posting articles from partisan sites that have questionable credibility) the comments are even WORSE. Many examples are on this Tumblr. And another actual one I just saw when finding Blaze articles on Yahoo News: "Being gay is a sexual fetish, a taboo."

Support the original wire service websites instead of this dumpster Yahoo News:

AP: http://bigstory.ap.org/

Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/

Agence France Presse: http://www.afp.com/en/

It is a website that has various functions. I do have e-mail through the website, but would not receive my news from them. It is fine that they run the website the way they want. I just won't read the news.
