Do people asking if Yahoo has an agenda posting the Hillary Clinton question have an agenda themselves?

Some Yahoo! Answers members are asking if Yahoo has an agenda by promoting the Hillary Clinton question about improving Healthcare in America. What do you think their agenda is in attacking Yahoo! for allowing a public figure to ask a question of the public?

Further, does trying to squelch the asking of open ended questions by public officials actively work to undermine efforts by the those officials to collect information and better lead the country?

    The simple fact is that no other candidate, definitely no Conservative or Republican has had that kind of exposure in Yahoo! Answers.

    By posting that with a photo, as a featured article, front and center on the homepage, Yahoo! clearly has shown bias. It lends credence to the question and candidate, and circumvents whether the idea should be put forward at all.

    Considering that in 1992-4 this idea was roundly defeated when Bill & Hillary got behind it then, it is a reasonable point to raise whether the idea is even valid.

    Other candidates definitely should get the same exposure. Their Yahoo! Answers question should be posted to coincide with their announcements to run as well.

    Actually I was wondering if Yahoo! had an agenda in plugging Hillary's campaign on the heels of her announcement and the SOTU message.

    Yahoo!, I'm looking forward to all of those other candidates getting equal time to Ask for our suggestions"!

    that is what's going to take position. first of all, it is already too previous due for various of foreclosure individuals. we've hit the intense fee and they're going to decrease as time is going on. there became one hundred and twenty Billion in loses for the stunning quarter of '07. you could divide that up through $264K time-honored value of a house interior the U. S. is, and spot we've lost various of floor with about a 0.5 a million only for the quarter. She wold do not have any administration over oil expenses, same to quite a few different president. No saving there. She ought to end the Bush tax cuts on the so said as wealthy. yet those those who make 100K in a number of the tremendous US cities own a three bedroom domicile that value $four hundred-$700K. So, they're going to be in chance then too. funding popular wellbeing-Care is ludicrous, yet enable's say she pulls the troops out of Iraq, and looks any opposite direction as tens of millions are slaughtered, in what makes Darfur look like an leisure park. Then we may seem at balancing the budget first. And if we bypass lower back to conflict for any reason, we are sunk. NAFTA received't deliver jobs lower back. No income there. She needs to augment the minimum salary to practically $10 in accordance to hour. Say see you later to the dollar Menu at McDonald's, it will be the $5 menu. NO saving for those the devour there, and perchance somewhat more desirable taxes for the U. S.. She needs to make all those who's an unlawful immigrant, criminal. So, we upload them to the college roles, welfare, and different entitlements, no longer only masking their ER prices, and we are achieved... lengthy gone for a yet another huge hit. they received't pay taxes, as they're going to in many cases be the adverse, who pay little or no taxes. would not seem good to me.

    What a ridiculous question.

    The people have the right to have an agenda. Clinton has the right to have an agend. But does a supposedly "neutral" forum of the people have the right to push its agenda on its users?

    Please. Hillary already has her own opinions and couldn't care less about what anyone else thinks, especially not us average Americans. Now if we had billions of dollars and would potentially donate to fund her campaign, that might be a different story.
