The Yahoo slide show on the Democratic Party is unbelievable.
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=564&e=2&u=/nm/politics_democrats_dc

Click on the link to the slide show under the picture of GENNIFER FLOWERS in this story about today's weekly Dem radio address.

Among other things, Yahoo is trying to link the NPD (neo-Nazi Party in Germany) with today's demonstrations. They are also trying to "smear" Kerry with Teddy Kennedy pics, etc. etc. etc.

I thought I was seeing things when I saw that picture of Gennifer Flowers with the story about jobs being outsourced, but I wasn't. This is just insane and cannot by any stretch of the imagination qualify as journalism!

11. Yahoo address , email and fax numbers


Yahoo! Inc.
701 First Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94089 United States
Phone: 408 349-3300
Fax: 408 349-3301

Note that the photo is provided by AP and the story by Reuters. Clearly a Yahoo call to patch the two together.

2. You expect real journalism?
Edited on Sat Mar-20-04 02:49 PM by Marianne
I agree it is cheap and paltry.

Now go over to the Bush slideshow

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?g=events/pl/081201presidentbush&a=&tmpl=ga&e=1

such artistic pictures--such crowds--such flags--such a wonderful president.

But this Kerry slideshow should make you feel better

5. They acyually say the left was there to protest
against the NPD. They then go on to say that the NPD was there protesting against the Iraq war.
