I think there is almost no way you could say this site has not been tough on Yahoo.

We have broken pretty much all the major stories on them over the last two years and have been most vigilant in holding their feet to the fire.

There is zero link, as far as we are concerned, so Yahoo can knock itself out managing media relations. It just has no impact.

Thanks for the clarification John, though I certainly didn’t say Editorial was influenced by Ad Sales side.

What I would say is that from a CMO’s point of view, buying ads is often interdependent with managing media relations (editorial).

And I would argue that road blocking the AllThingsD video ads is not in the same league as those ROS display ads being purchased by your other advertisers.

Today is the beginning of a journey back to respect? The stock market obviously doesn’t think so. YHOO’s stock is down 2.5% this morning. If Yahoo wants my respect they can start by not destroying my data — especially without warning. More hot air BS from Carol Bartz.

True, Yahoo, among a number of other companies, is an advertiser on All Things D. Our advertising department, however, is separate from the editorial department, and the two work independently.

They sure are spending a lot of money advertising on AllThingsD.com…
