Bush administration blurs media boundary

Is Yahoo censoring the story?

1. I wouldn't be shocked!

How do we let yahoo know we want the story on the front page?

2. No censorship

when it was 4.7, it was 3rd...but now it's at 4.34...below the 10th story which has 4.4

3. I show that the most popular based on ratings goes down to 4.4 and this

story is rated 4.34...:shrug:

4. I think it's being freeped.

Down to 4.31 now. Bill & Monica could still post a 5, I'll bet. :grr:

5. I think there is something funny here

When it first popped up as a story I voted and there were 60 votes with a score of 4.94 and it still wasn't one of the headlines on the front page and I thought that was very weird.

6. Well, regardless of why.. It's off the front page for good

Nobody will see it now. Gawd, I hate fighting the coporate media. No matter what we do, they just bury the real story some how.

7. Email it to yourself to get it back on the list!

There are three versions of the most popular page: most emailed, most viewed, and highest rated. The default is the most emailed page - you need to click on "most viewed" or "ratings" to change it.

So to get a story up on the popular list, it takes a lot of people to view it and to email it. Send it to a friend, send it to yourself, send it to Donald Trump, whatever.

It's being censored by Yahoo.

9. Don't just rec our stories high - REC THEIR stories LOW.

Like the dumb US News piece "Canada Can't Save You" which ridicules libs thinking of moving north. Rate that crap a 1.
