Yahoo News is at it again....

When you log out of your Yahoo email, you're greeted with these Fox News-esque headlines:

• What Happened to 'Compassionate' Conservatives?
http://news.yahoo.com/happened-compassionate-conservatives-061730384--politics.html

...compassionate conservatives...I knew that was a joke when I first heard the term on NPR in 1999.

• Republicans rip White House in shutdown reprisal

• Obamacare: Worst Law Passed in Four Decades Must Be Stopped, Says Stockman
http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/obamacare-worst-law-passed-four-decades-must-stopped-121701392.html?vp=1



If they could get away with it, I'm sure YahooNews would join Fox "News" in calling it the "Liberal Shutdown."

I have a history of screen shots from the early stages of the 2012 election: Yahoo News posted Palin-praising articles, sometimes 4 at a time.

You'd think they would have learned...

...oh and this one just in (just so we're all clear on this):
• Even amid furloughs, some Texans cheer Cruz

I've seen very few favorable stories about Obama on Yahoo over the last 5 years. The shutdown seems to be only hardening the trend.
