..is Yahoo racist?

[X]

well not racist, but i dont know if is me alone notice that Yahoo always try fi show Obama in a negative light.
Anyone that has a yahoo email account may have them my yahoo as a landing page.
Mi notice that them never yet have a positive headline on Obama... and dem always have some sacastic remart.. Like today, them have two pic of him, one the use the lighting to make him look light, split gains another him have a unsure look pon him face and them shade it dark..
Dem headline it "Has the Magic Faded?"

mi been meaning to bring the whole yahoo coverage a Obama up fi ahwile, but enuff already.
If YAHOO to rathid against the hombre, thats something concerning and shouldnt be ignored.
Cant help but feel them on a mission to subtly undermine the black president..anyhow..
Maybe mi senile.

Re: ..is Yahoo racist?

Like Rich D says, media organizations traditionally line themselves up withe the Dems or the Reps. I just hope the ones that represent the Republicans don't automatically get labeled &quot;racist&quot; because they disagree with the Democratic party and the Democratic president.

As much as I like Barack, there still needs to be an effective conservative form of reporting the news in order to keep them (the Democrats) in check.

Re: ..is Yahoo racist?

oh, and as mi think of it, their choice of the word &quot;Magic&quot; in the headline regarding Barack Obama may not have anything to do with the whole &quot;Magic Negro&quot; fiasco either.
In otherwords they just execising their political slants and naively use the word &quot;Magic&quot; in an headlined regarding the &quot;Magic Negro&quot;

Oh ok

true

we caunt all jump on the Obama ban waggon.. and trust mi, mi check out whet the rightwing thinking all the while.
But for it to come from a Yahoo, to me its a bit tasteless

See its almost like msn or google being politically biased.
To me, in this IT age, we cant afford these entities to show any political bais. Mi know that may be an unreasonable order, but ethically, theses cats got or lives on there hardware, and for any of them to show that kinda blatant racial bias is unsettling..

Re: ..is Yahoo racist?

Remember the whole &quot;Buy America&quot; thing that had us up here in Canada worried, especially those involved in the steel industry. Well it seems the one politician who really took a stand and made it known that it is America's responsibility to stick with its existing trade agreements was non other than Arizona senator John McCain.

Go figure!

Go figure! </div></div> Not true, Obama,opposed it too, but he was not as strident. He did it on a less confrontationalist way. He insisted that as ling as it does not affect any existing treaty or laws, knowing thar rhere are laws and treaty that it would affect.
That was put in the law bing passed for the economic recovery, that McCain voted against.
In cingress wgat you say don't count. ....it is all about what you vote on.

Re: ..is Yahoo racist?

yahoo is my homepage. every now and then some media will put up something that come off racist to some. i watch them very closely in the campaign, there had been moments but i do not find them racist. it seems that as with any other journalistic source(but yahoo is a secondary one) the image is meant to sell the text.
i am sure i am not the only one, but if he wasnt black i wouldnt even care about american politics.
