One of the few Politico staffers we haven't boycotted and an actual pleasant human being we've actually dealt with on the telephone and in person,Michael Calderoneis leaving his media blog at WinTheMorning.com for a mysterious new Yahoo News venture. Why does Yahoo even need a reporter person like Calderone when news.yahoo.com gets 40 million visitors per month?Yahoo boss Carol Bartz recently told the New York Observer (Calderone's former employer) that news.yahooneeds "our own editorial voice on our site."
