What is important of late on Yahoo News...

If you want to figure out what lies and trash the GOP is pushing of late, just go to Yahoo News.
I saw this after I exited my Yahoo email...



(Sorry to harp on this lame news site so often; I would leave Yahoo email in a heartbeat for something less annoying, but I would lose a lot of old interesting emails, contacts, etc...because I have had the account since 1998).

I think it's called, Mozilla's email client. And you can also export your contacts then import them back into another email client.

Not judging... just letting you know.

or for students when I'm teaching a university class so they don't have my personal email address. Personally I have found they've fallen too far behind the times with their whole set up. I switched to Gmail about seven years ago and have had very few problems.

And I always look for the propaganda (usually front page news stories), and I always find some. Any chance they get to trash liberal viewpoints, they do it. Judging from the comments there, they are just catering to their right-wing know-nothing audience.
