Looks like Jerry Yang is being hung out to dry…

Quote Michael Arrington from Tech Crunch
When blogs and regional newspapers trash Jerry Yang it’s one thing. But when the New York Times does it, people really notice. Public lynchings like this are few and far between from that bastion of traditional journalism.
Yesterday’s article by Joe Nocera, titled “Oh Jerry, It’s No Longer Your Baby” was a stinging condemnation of Yang. It’s presented as a memo from Nocera to Yang, with the subject “Shafting Yahoo’s Shareholders” and outlines the many ways Yang has failed Yahoo’s shareholders and employees.
Yahoo actually did a deal with Google – their BIGGEST competitor just because they didn’t like the vibe of Microsoft; which demonstrates their reluctance has nothing to do with thinking their company was worth more – but that their CEO just doesn’t like the idea of Microsoft running “his” company. What he failed to see is it stopped being “his” company when he sold swathes of it off to investors for billions of dollars.
