Darth Vader call home at Yahoo

Yahoo has gone over to the dark side. They've hired their first journalist to cover wars. Two facts illustrate:

1. The former chairman of ABC's entertainment group now oversee's Yahoo's expanded media group in Santa Monica.

2. He has hired Kevin Sites, a "veteran television correspondent" to report on wars around the world. Mr. Sites
is probably most notable for a videotape he shot for NBC of a marine shooting and killing, in a mosque in Falluja last year, an Iraqi prisoner who appeared to be unarmed.
Pity. I was beginning to respect Yahoo. Except for their reliance on limited news sources that included not one conservative paper or news source. They have AP, Reuters, AFP, Los Angeles Times, USATODAY, CS Monitor, Knight Ridder Newspaper and NPR. You can sign up for FOXnews feed but it isn't a default choice.

Guess what? Yahoo won't be my default choice anymore either.
