Does Yahoo Answers Politics have an agreement with Fox News to perform its moderation?

Elvis asked:


There seems to be a striking resemblance between how Yahoo Answers politics sections performs their moderation and how Fox News performs its moderation on its website. That is, right-wingers can post the most extreme libellous statements they want and they will remain, yet anything opposing the right-wing is strictly moderated and censored if it is too factual. Appealing the decisions is pointless: you will get a form email saying “On review of your case we have decided not to reinstate your content” with no adequate explanation. Is anybody here aware of such an agreement between the two media giants? Please reply quickly, before they delete my question. Thanks.
