26. Yahoo really is pathetic.

They spin every "news" story to the right whenever possible. Moat of their "news" commentary comes from Forbes, WSJ or BusinessInsider or the MotleyFool.

During the Obamacare website launch and the subsequent six months 1/3 of their "news" front page were negative spins on any ACA statistics coming through. Beyond any coincidence--pathetic.
