this sounds like irony. As longer this drags, the further away from the 
top will Yahoo be and so antitrust cannot be important anymore.

I currently use Google and Yahoo to do searches in news for a very 
specific subject. It seems to me that at least there, Yahoo is very 
often very much behind Google. Yahoo gets the same news sites indexed 
later. Of course, they are not CNN, they are pretty small compared to them.
