Why would yahoo report a story ?

Question

I noticed that on yahoo's home page there is a story about an american olympian pole-vaulter talking "trash" (if you can call it that) to a russian pole-vaulter. According to the article the american simply said that she was going to kick some russian butt. Seriously trash talk? She's just trying to boost the confidence level... Your telling me that her comment could be distorted THAT much? calling it trash talk?

Even if the american was referring not only to her competitor but also russia as a whole, seriously it was taken out of context COMPLETELY! Who the h**l is yahoo rooting for?

Answer 1

Yahoo isn't a news reporting service.  If you read the bylineJOHN LEICESTER, AP Olympics Columnist, you'd note the author reports as part of the Associated Press.

Answer 2

Have you ever "trash talked" someone? Telling someone you're going to kick their butt is text book "trash talking." Just because Yahoo reports it, doesn't mean they're anti-American. Get over it!
