]]> {NEWS > BREAKING NEWS} - Icahn: Blustery, Savvy Raider or Mediocre Investor? News from Portfolio.com Also on Portfolio Setting the Bar High at Airports Marvel Comics Reclaiming Its Superheroes Can Michael Dell Save Dell? Subscribe to Portfolio magazine Few companies are willing to get down and dirty in a schoolyard brawl with Carl Icahn. Even when Icahn implied that Dick Parsons, then the chief executive of Time Warner, was an "idiot," the media conglomerate held back from returning fire. Yet Yahoo, in defending how it handled merger discussions with Microsoft, is taking aim at Icahn just where it hurts. Icahn, Yahoo suggests, is simply not a very good activist investor. In a presentation to its shareholders, Yahoo lists 15 companies that Icahn invested in over the last three-and-a-half years and sought to change its strategy or gain representation on its board. Only three of the 15 have had gains in their stock prices since Icahn started to stir things up. Among the notable losers are WCI Communities, which is down 90 percent with Icahn as chairman, and Motorola, down 50 percent, although Icahn has two of its 12 board seats. The big winner is BEA Systems (up 40 percent), where Icahn agitated successfully for a sale to Oracle, albeit at a price significantly less than what BEA ultimately received. For Yahoo, Icahn has "an ill-defined plan" that consists entirely of selling the company to Microsoft, Yahoo says. And such a sale is not happening, and that is all Microsoft's fault, Yahoo contends. The software giant was "unresponsive and inconsistent" in negotiations before it walked away, Yahoo says. "This is simply revisionist history," a Microsoft spokesman told the Associated Press. With its stock drifting down toward $20 and just a month before its annual shareholder meeting, Yahoo is pressing hard to make its case that it didn't blow a chance to get shareholders a rich premium. Investors disappointed with Jerry Yang and Yahoo's board may vote for Icahn's slate in protest. And what does Icahn think of Yahoo's attack on his investing record? He did not respond immediately, but had promised last week on his blog that he would be discussing Yahoo "shortly." http://articles.world-of-newave.info/news/breaking-news/icahn-blustery-savvy-raider-or-mediocre-investor-2008072843.htm 2008-07-01T18:10:00Z 2008-07-01T18:10:00Z Wired.Com http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/news/2008/07/portfolio_0701 Icahn: Blustery, Savvy Raider or Mediocre Investor? {new window}   Www.Wired.Com - News from Portfolio.com Also on Portfolio Setting the Bar High at Airports Marvel Comics Reclaiming Its Superheroes Can Michael Dell Save Dell?

]]> {ISSUES > BIAS AND BALANCE} - Chicago Tribune repeated baseless suggestion that Obama attacked McCain's age, linked comment to 2000 smears of McCain In a June 13 article, Chicago Tribune Washington correspondent Christi Parsons juxtaposed smears on Sen. John McCain in 2000 with Sen. Barack Obama's comment on May 8 that McCain was "losing his bearings" without noting the context of Obama's remarks that would have made clear that Parsons was advancing a false comparison. Parsons also did not note that, contrary to the allegation by the McCain campaign included in her article, Obama categorically denies that the "losing his bearings" comment was a dig at McCain's age. Unlike the gratuitous smears Parsons mentioned that were directed at McCain during his 2000 presidential bid, Obama was himself responding to an attack by McCain. And in saying that McCain seemed to be "losing his bearings," Obama was remarking on McCain's apparent departure from his pledge not to engage in negative campaigning. Parsons wrote: "Sen. John McCain fell victim to a whisper campaign in 2000 in South Carolina, where he lost to George W. Bush amid gossip that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock and that he was mentally unstable from his years as a POW during Vietnam. Now McCain quickly responds to attacks he thinks are personal. When Obama recently accused McCain of 'losing his bearings,' for instance, a senior aide dashed off a scathing memo accusing him of suggesting McCain, 71, was too old to be president." As Media Matters for America has documented, during Obama's interview on the May 8 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer quoted McCain as saying, "I think it's very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas' worst nightmare. Senator Obama is favored by Hamas. I think people can make judgments accordingly." In response, Obama told Blitzer that McCain's assertion was "disappointing, because John McCain always says, well, I'm not going to run that kind of politics." Obama went on to say: "I've said that they are a terrorist organization, that we should not negotiate with them unless they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they're willing to abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. And, so, for him to toss out comments like that, I think, is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don't need name-calling in this debate." Parsons did not note that Obama spokesman Bill Burton denied that Obama was referring to McCain's age. From Parsons' article, which discussed the Obama campaign's newly launched website, Fight the Smears: Sen. John McCain fell victim to a whisper campaign in 2000 in South Carolina, where he lost to George W.
