User interface is stupid – Yahoo News: Breaking & Local Review

This news app would close the news article I’m reading whenever I swipe the page down a bit too much or if I’m already near or at the same Top of the page. Instead of just scrolling to the top of the page, the app closes the article I’m reading. The app already uses swipe from left to close an article or return to main page so why hijack the swipe down gesture for the same purpose ?
