Boo, Boo, Yahoo! Annoyingly Intrusive…AND Subversive?..
Good grief! It’s nearly 10am and here I am just up, pouring the kopi jawa down my throat.

I was relaxing yesterday typing up an email to somebody overseas with whom I like to keep in touch…
=

…when suddenly my progress was abruptly halted, by a large box appearing on my screen, DEMANDING that I ‘try the new Yahoo experience.’
=

Having no wish to discontinue an important and agreeable activity, I did try – to remove the arrogant and unsolicited obstruction inserted by Yahoo into my email!
No joy!
I had to move out of Yahoo and come back. Fortunately my previous paragraphs were saved, but really. Is there no end to this nonsense?
Hard to forget the long struggle Yahoo users put up to keep using the Yahoo Classic format, which was easy to use and pleasing to the eye. We were eventually coerced into uppity Marissa’s preferred boring version.
That’s Marissa Mayer, by the way…

And another Yahoo memory still rankles, after my simple search for a cute female tummy evoked this bizarre message!. .

United? How About YAHOO’s Wowser Take On Mid-Riffs?
I protested long and lously about the MM jackboot…
Yahoo Disaster – Fire Mayer, Bring Back Classic!
BRING BACK Yahoo Classic!
C’mon Yahoo! Spam Marissa Then Bring Back Classic Mail!
Yahoo’s Contempt for Customers Reaps a Rut!
Now Marissa’s gone – yet there’s a recrudescence of Yahoo harassment!
Moreover, there is new reason to dislike Yahoo this week, the prominence of a notorious cover-up hack named Michael Isikoff!
–
=,
He’s deeply involved in the current ‘memo’ fuss in Washington DC but – if we are to believe Daniel Greenfield, and I do believe him – Isikoff sat on a major scandal even though he knew all about it!
And I’ve heard this little pinko referred to as an ‘investigative journalist!?!?’
=
=
As Greenfield says –
The only two “sources” 18 are Christopher Steele, who was funded by the Clinton campaign, and a Yahoo News article, that were used to obtain a FISA warrant against a Trump associate.
That Yahoo story came from Michael Isikoff, the reporter who knew about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky…
=
…..
….but suppressed it.
It was based on more leaks from Steele which the FBI and DOJ chose to ignore. Steele’s identity was already well known. The only new source revealed is Yahoo News… The Memo Reveals the Coup against America | Frontpage Mag
And who pays for Yahoo News to employ this leftist?
Advertisers on Yahoo, presumably, who need to be advised of our disapproval.

Greenfield gives an accurate account of Isikoff’s role in the Clinton/Lewinsky affair.
If he had ever had any pretensions to being an ‘investigative reporter,’ that was his chance but he failed to do what any real journalist would have done.
I use Yahoo too, only because all my contacts have that email address and it would be a lot of trouble to change it.
They are very annoying, I agree. ,

It used to be we trusted the feds more than local cops but now we trust the dog-catcher more than the feds.
