Flickr picks the 18 best news photos of 2011

So glad Yahoo News is here to tell us that the Flickr (owned by Yahoo) end-of-the-year list, as chosen by Yahoo editors, is "pretty cool" compared to the rest of the end-of-the-year lists.

How did the dog by the soldier casket not make it, or the couple kissing during the Vancouver riot?????

Unimpressive collection of photos. I mean really, that's the one you picked for Japan?

Actualy, they are all looking at Congressman s Weinner.

Best picture is missing....Bin Laden....DEAD!

To the #$%$ who came up with the headline for this article - Flickr is a website. It can't pick photos. Yahoo editors selected photos. Even the article says so.I tell you, qualifications to write an article these days seem to be only that you are stupider than a rock. An order of magnitude stupider than a rock.

selected by Yahoo editors killed the article for me!

Gads, some of these photos are just creep shots. #$%$ with the guy copping the feel of the chick? Surely there were better photos to choose from..

I think national geographics handed you your butt on this one

Yahoo! by Yahoo!

Who's that little boy in the corner?

Were's the Kissing Couple during the Riot?

Ridiculous! Like killing Bin Laden made an ounce of difference to peoples lives here. What about the 10 other Bin Ladens in that picture and several hundreds (senators, lobbyist, CEOs, mediat) out in DC......seeping the very life of ordinary americans with their policies of fear and repression....
I tell you the best pics of the year. Children living in the dark cause their families cannot afford to pay electricity bills, a man walking alongside a busy highway with a sign 'lost my job, have two kids to feed', a 60 yr old woman dumpster diving looking for empty cans which she can sell and feed her belly......those are realities of everyday life in US every single day.....and the cold weather is upon us.....go look under every bridge, how many homeless are spending their nights each passing day.....
I don't care about Liberals, much less Republicans or Independents alike. I care about people and a culture that was once ours, about care, nurture, living peacefully with other nations........not about greed, hatred, delusion that have become the symbols of our existence in US today......

What about "Bread Helmet" in Egypt?

Just more Yahoo devotion to Barry.

I think it is a list for amateur non journalistic photographs that people put up on Flickr. Basically like the I-reporters on CNN...just regular folks at the right place at the right time.

Whatever happened to real news?

You can tell that something REALLY exciting is going on because Joe Biden is awake.

LOOK THE PIC THE COPS HANDS ON BOOBS PUSHING ON Occupy Oakland, Zuccotti Park Eviction, Wall Street Zombies, Wall Street 'Day of Rage', Occupy Movements, Rome Riots 2011, London Burning and Looting, London Riots, Unrest in Greece, Union Demonstrations, Anti-War Rallies WHAT?

well at least one of the people there knows what is going on.
