I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It mostly is an aggregator but they also have some staff now.

Something called "Yahoo News" shouldn't be in existence, anyway.
I have little use for Yahoo, but the future of news is automated. Assuming Yahoo uses automatic news aggregation they'll probably be one of the ones left standing when all the deadwood falls down.

I thought Yahoo was a news aggregator like Google, didn't know they had reporters.

They started getting into content creation a few years ago.  Some of it has been pretty good.

QuoteIn GOP race relations, Jeb Bush said today that the party needs to stop being silly on immigration. It didn't help that when a delegate was speaking with a Spanish accent last night the crowd drowned them out with chants of USA. Apparently the video's got lots of traction in Spanish language news sites.

They were chanting that the whole day, including during Ann Romney's speech.

:lol:

That's really all I have for an article that barely even speaks about Romney till the last half and then just expects you to agree to their translations of the ad.

That's pretty much a regurgitation of all the other "dog whistle politics" BS that's been slung around.  Lord knows Chris Matthews went off on that last night every chance he got.

So I gather the GOP convention is just cover for a massive Klan rally?  'The solution to our budget woes is...MORE LYNCHINGS'

Yep, that's the sensible conclusion.

They're simply shoring up their base, the Unhappy White Person.

I suppose if you simply ignore it every time it rears its head it would seem like BS.  I'm always amused how conservatives hide behind the shield of "political correctness", and then a breath later damn political correctness.

What did I write that in Greek?

Πώς συντηρητικοί κρύβονται πίσω από την πολιτική ορθότητα;
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?
