    it seems that a few can claim something about a question or answer, and yahoo will delete it. I have challenged a deletions many times, but have never won or made it to a human.

    Yahoo has deleted questions claiming they were not questions, when in fact they were. My point is a few can cause deletions on any bases they desire, and you are unable to really challenge yahoos dictatorship.

    We've always been a two-party system. So it's kind of hard to imagine how it would be otherwise. It's like guessing how Congress would work if we had a third house. Bitter partisanship like we're seeing now is not a real issue, it's a fake issue to hide real issues. We have some problems that are going to be very hard to solve. They will require some sacrifice--hopefully proportionately from everyone. The solutions require hard political decisions, of the kind that neither party are ready to step up to. It's easier to blame it on the other party. Baiting the other party just covers up, it takes the place of the real issues you should be talking about, but they're dangerous to talk about because nobody wants to hear about them. Partisanship has gone up and down throughout our history. It was on its way out in the 1970s. More and more people through the 1950s to the 70s were registering as independent, 'voting for the man, not the party'. But partisanship got a big boost in the 1980 election, and it's just been heating up since then. And here on Yahoo Answers, it's easier just to taunt the other side, you don't have to know anything about the issues. We have whole major 'news' outlets now that are really only propaganda organs for one of the political parties. People who get all their news from these sources often don't even know there -is- another side of the story! (Notice how I didn't mention any parties here! Woo hoo! Good for me!)

    Some of their staff certainly must be.

    Questions concerning Hillary's delusional sniper reports have been deleted, at least half of the ones I've answered.

    It is difficult to tell the difference between abuse nazis and yahoo nazis, how could we tell?

    I've had four questions deleted, and so far two have been reinstated.

    they definitely haven't done a passing job on the Ron Paul page or the questions they highlight about him.

    so yes there is some bias

    Yes. I think they take it personally.

    I don't think so but it seems to be the go-to response when someone's question gets deleted.
