[edit] Pointless?

The only information being conveyed here is that some unnamed right-wing scolds think Yahoo! News is part of the librul media and that the comments section is awful. Neither of these is really useful or missional. (The latter may be, but then we'd need an article about the comments section of just about every website) Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 05:02, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Meh, it's a part of the media and I don't see it as any worse than the Yahoo Answers page. The reason their comments section is particularly notorious is because a)the site itself isn't that biased so it's just weird, b)the site, unlike WND, is very popular, and c)there seem to to so many of them. The article is most useful as a debunking of the idea that Yahoo is part of the liberal media conspiracy theory, and since debunking conspiracy theories is kind of our thing...
The comments section is also one of the most well known places to most casual internet users for its easily viewed racism, homophobia, climate change denial, (insert wingnuttery here) so it seemed worth commenting on in case they were seeking an explanation for why it's that way.
