Does Yahoo Answers not post questions they don't like?
I posted the following question 3 times without it appearing on the politics page:
Why would a newspaper publish a story without checking the facts?
The Washington post ran a story on 21 June claiming Romney and Bain were :pioneers' in outsourcing. Romney has disputed the claims since they came out but Obama has attacked Romney relentlessly on this story since. Now that the story has been found to be false the Washington Post "Fact checker", Glenn Kessler, says he does not check the "facts" of his own writers. Did the Washington Post knowingly publish the false story on Bain and outsourcing? Why would a newspaper publish a story without checking the facts?

YA is a left wing media outlet from the ignorant sportswriters to their bias news releases.
So if you expose the leftest YA will censor you UNLESS
You make it a question with facts--I have battled their censors and I have always had facts.
So ask your question with a why or why not. The left can't explain and the right will give you a more complete answer sometimes with facts that I didn't know about.

LOL, you don't get the irony that your "question" is now on AND is being remarked about...
To take you slightly seriously, perhaps because you might be libelling someone ??!!
IF you claimed Washington post doesn't check it s facts is different than claiming a person doesn't check their facts.
It's not difficult.

What's the point of owning the media if you can't use it to control what people think? Obama and Romney will support free trade and outsourcing anyway because Americans need to be taught a lesson. The little people can have nothing unless we say they can have it!

You are correct. Yahoo moves questions it doesn't want anyone to see, sticks them several pages back, and site moderators shilling for 0bama and Romney post insulting answers. It happens to me all the time.
I did see you post that question earlier. I think you were a little bit dishonest yourself for calling the Washington Post a liberal newspaper when they are one of very few media sources that will print negative articles about him.

If they don't, then you have the right to use another question/answer site - like "Ask.com".
This is a private company. They can do as they like. If you don't like it then you have the right to take your propaganda/questions/whatever elsewhere. I thought republican's were all for the independent rights of corporations?

Online boards aren't people. They are algorithms. Your word choice is tripping the algorithm.

Yes and if it is negative to a Liberal view point they will send a violation notice so I quit asking.

Yes, they have censors.
Avoid using suggestive words like 'liberal', 'fascist', 'communist', socialism, racism, atheist, obama, etc..... use spelling mistakes
