Time to take on the freepers - Pretend it's Florida

Folks, I can't prove it, but I have a very strong suspicion that the rightwing wackos are playing games with the news stories we see on Yahoo News, and we need to start fighting back.

At the bottom of every story there's a box that looks like this:

You can use that box to rate the story, and depending on your rating, it helps the story pop up higher in some of Yahoo's ratings.

Well, I've noticed that anti-Bush stories usually tend to have lower ratings than pro-Bush stories, and I suspect some rightwingers are making a concerted effort to throw the results.

So, what I'm asking is that every time you read a story on Yahoo, if it's pro-Kerry or pro-Democrat or makes the left look good in some way, rate it a 5. If it makes the right look bad, rate it a 5. But if the story in any way isn't helpful to our cause, rate it a 1. Just make sure you vote like this in the future whenever you visit Yahoo News. Just pretend it's Florida.
