Big news is on the horizon. THE BLAZE is teaming up with Yahoo! to broaden news coverage going into the presidential election. We’ll have more details soon, but for now, read this from “The Hollywood Reporter“:
Yahoo is promising the most extensive political coverage in its history, beginning Tuesday with live interviews of the eight top Republican candidates for president and through to Election Day on Nov. 6, 2012.
[...]
Another addition to Yahoo’s effort is the Signal, a Web site that will use sophisticated prediction models that combines data from InTrade — where users can gamble on the outcome of political events — with the latest polls along with Twitter and other social-networking data to determine the odds of various political outcomes. On Tuesday, for example, the Signal said that Herman Cain’s chances for becoming the Republican nominee for president were nearly cut in half, to 3.8 percent, after Gloria Allred’s press conference Monday with a woman claiming she was sexually harassed by Cain 14 years ago.
In the future, the Signal will feature predictive-type games and other interactive elements.
Yahoo has also partnered with journalists and opinion writers from the left and right, like The Atlantic, FactCheck.org, Forbes, National Journal, The Week and Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze.com.
“We’re trying to do something more than just expanded political coverage,” said Robertson Barrett, vp news and finance at Yahoo.

Posted on November 8, 2011 at 4:55pmCompared to a lot of stories out of other outlets, I’m often surprised how much Yahoo does report on that the likes of NBC/ABC/CBS wouldn’t touch, even from outerspace. Besides, I think most Blaze readers can tell when they’re getting the whole story and not. If they want to use Yahoo’s resources, I don’t see a problem with it. Maybe they can encourage Yahoo to be more neutral.

Posted on November 8, 2011 at 3:08pmAre you people out of your minds?! You think joining up with Yahoo is a GOOD thing?
Report Post »Do you know what Yahoo’s political and ideological leanings are? Way to loose whatever power you had as a news source. I know you’re gonna loose me.

Posted on November 8, 2011 at 10:24pmYahoo! has writers of all political leanings. I happen to be a conservative, and I do write for Yahoo! Most of my stories are published through their Associated Content outlet, but I do have a few stories on the main Yahoo! site, including a political story or two from the Tea Party perspective.

Posted on November 9, 2011 at 12:53pmI’ll take a wait and see stance. Does this mean we have to contend with the crazy, hating, progressive, posters I see in the comments sections of Yahoo stories?
