Comments on: It's time for Jerry Yang to step aside

Don Reisinger thinks it's time for Jerry Yang to step aside and let Carl Icahn do what he wants. But will Jerry go down without a fight?

A Microsoft/Yahoo merger is not in the best interests of anyone. It would not be good for MS even though they are getting Yahoo's search. With all of the executives leaving Yahoo, this will present a perfect opportunity for it to finally unify all of its disjoint services together and form a much stronger and better performing company.

Yang has only been at the helm for a year, which is a very short time to see anything get done especially with merger and hostile take-over talks going crazy. While he may not be the choice for CEO but its much better than Icahn and his group or even selling out to MS.

It's funny, but when reading:

"it's being torn apart by a greedy and jealous CEO who looks like he has no regard for his shareholders"

I immediately thought of "Steve Ballmer."

"...willing to work with Yahoo if Yang and his cronies step aside."

Interesting the author chooses to slap this label on the Yahoo guys, who are trying to protect their company from a hostile takeover in a world where only a few guys own the media. (Isnt it terrifying to know that all the information will be controlled by the likes of R. Murdoch?) Icahn on the other hand cares nothing more then about MONEY, period.

Yea, yea its a public company and the poor shareholders, etc etc.. but if $$$$ is the ultimate goal then i guess calling someone who is looking at the bigger picture and stay "clean" a "crony" is perfectly suitable.

Yeah right, like we need less competition in the tech sector. Maybe what we really need are fewer tech writers. It's time to move aside, Don, and let someone else run your beloved CNET site into the ground.
