Default Yahoo News
It looks like Yahoo News has killed all comments. I normally go in to check the news and read the comments. A vast majority of the comments are pro Trump which makes me believe that the poor libs at Yahoo can't handle the comments being posted.
So now I need to find another site for getting my news. Any recommendations?

It's nothing new. I've noticed many "news" outlets, including my local media, have eliminated the comment sections. And yes, most comments questioned the veracity of the "journalists".

I never even remotely considered Yahoo News to be news.

Fox won't even let you comment on the important stuff anymore. But feel free to comment on any article they have about Kim and Kanye. Fox sucks too, but it is about the best we can get from MSM.

I think many of the comments posted on either side of a political story were bots. Too many times I read the exact same comment from different persons and on different stories.

There have been times I have typed several sentences and as soon as I hit "Post" I immediately get a "like" and I know damn well NO ONE reads that fast and responds. ****ery abounds on FB.

That could be. I know I had one of my comments deleted: I posted a link to recall governor Gaven Nuisance. So that quickly told me that they are left wing and do not want to recall this idiot governor we have. Yahoo deleting their comment sections will bit them where the money is- advertisements. I bet their site will take a 80% reader hit.

The comments were pretty entertaining at times, that's for sure.

I still have Yahoo email... i know...so, I'm always exposed to the articles from huffypost, nbc, etc..they have on the front page. Always the same hate Trump propaganda and full love orgy for bogus celebs, libs, and the UK royalty. They had a little option you could check beside of each to 'see less from'. I clicked them all and it didn't change a thing. I made a comment one time and got reported for it. They threatened to block me.

Matt Lauer on the Today show one time mentioned one of the articles giving them all love and god status. He said, "Don't read the comments though". "Never read the comments". He knew the truth to what people thought of them were in the comments vs the paid lib reporters garbage.

So do I. I've had mine for probably 20 years now. Once they start screwing with that, I'll probably have to find another email service. I also have gmail, but that is the same as Yahoo.
