Jerry Yang Dumping Yahoo! Shares (YHOO, MSFT)

,----[ Quote ]
| Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO) holders probably 
| never want to hear the name Jerry Yang again.  
| Well, those same holders will love thisâ 
| Tonight after the close a filing at the SEC 
| from Yahoo! showed that Jerry Yang is going to 
| be selling stock in the company.  David Filo, 
| the other Yahoo founder, is also selling 
| shares.  Normally insider selling or founders 
| selling is viewed with some caution.  That 
| doesnât seem to be the case here, and for good 
| reason.

Minorities and Corn Growers Rise Against Google-Yahoo.

,----[ Quote ]
| A Microsoft funded PR firm is backing an odd collection of "community" groups

Corn Farmers Against Google?

,----[ Quote ]
| Only if they're planting in AstroTurf

|
| How do you know the organization, and the op-ed, weren't created by LawMedia
| Group at the behest of some well-funded clients? If they did their jobs
| right, you don't know.
|
| Some of them have left digital fingerprints here and there, though, says
| Declan McCullagh, in a blockbuster of a report exposing the intellectual
| whoredom offered for various important issues. Shortly after Microsoft hired
| LawMedia, for example, legislators, national agencies, and news outlets
| received pointed complaints from coalitions of farmers, rural voters, and
| geeky Latinos about how Google's advertising deal with Yahoo would wreck
| everything.
|
| [...]
|
| Don't call them a PR firm or a lobbying firm though, Law Media â which has a
| ton of lawyers working for them tooâis a "public affairs firm" specializing
| in producing "remarkable coalitions" for anything one might need a coalition
| for.
