Yahoo News....More Liberal Media...
« on: September 15, 2003, 12:28:53 PM »
I get the impression that Yahoo News and it's AP  newswires are deicidedly liberal and Anti- Bush.

Anyone else get this impression, or is it just me?

It seems the only news they ever report on Yahoo news is Doom and Gloom about Iraq.

*shrugs*

Just wondering.

Even if he is, I'm sure we could get a New York Times reporter to throw something together.

I am sure some journalists can find a good story in Iraq, it just seems to me they just choose not to find one.

I agree.  Plus what is the bigger news story, American soldier(s) killed in action, or some village that gets electricity back after waiting 6 months?

Here are the top AP wire stories on Yahoo news this hour.  Hardly Anti-Bush if you ask me:

Appeals Court Delays Calif. Recall Vote
East Coast Gears Up for Hurricane Isabel
U.N. Envoy: Mideast Talks Break Down
Powell Visits Mass Grave of Iraqi Victims
Soldier, Iraq Police Chief Die in Attacks
Saudi Arabian Prison Fire Kills 67
Group Predicts Sustained Economic Rebound
Union, DaimlerChrysler Strike Labor Deal
Stocks Decline After Economic Reports
Man Arrested in Williams' Sister's Death
Ben Affleck Reportedly Dumps J. Lo
Israel Backs Off Killing Arafat Option
Tigers First in 34 Years With 110 Losses
Industrial Production Moves Up Slightly
Motorola, Microsoft Team Up on Cell Phone
WTO Reeling From Trade Defeat in Cancun
Cheney Hints U.S. to Need More Iraq Funds
Suspect in Williams Sister Killing Caught
Ravens' Lewis Runs for Record 295 Yards
N.C. Sheriff Charged With Embezzlement

reminds me of this comedian I saw a few months ago.  complaining about news media being to lazy to find a positive story.

"we always here about a 'drug deal gone bad' in the news.  I'm sure many deals go off quite well, why do you never hear about that?  'here is your money', 'here is your dope, enjoy', I'm sure it happens all the time, how hard would it be to find these stories.  damn negitive media"

That Yahoo search, you have come to this conclusion that its not anit-Bush after only one search?  Watch it for months and you will get a much more realistic picture of their bias.
