Dan Lyons from the Newsweek, who was also known as The Real Dan Lyons and also known as The Fake Steve Jobs would be quitting his personal blog RealDonLyons.com due to overt editorial clashes with the administration at Newsweek. Newsweek asked Lyon to pull down his post from the blog in which he called Yahoo’s PR staff “lying sacks of shit”. According to The Industry Standard:

Lyons slammed the company after Yahoo flacks told him just weeks ago that the Google/Yahoo search deal was a "sure thing" and that Jerry Yang wasn’t going anywhere. "Then that deal fell apart. And now Jerry Yang is out on his ass. The take-away: Do not believe a word that Yahoo says. Ever.

Lyons slammed All Things Digital’s Kara Swisher for touting an "exclusive" that Yang was stepping down — an exclusive that was posted five minutes before Yahoo’s official press release — and then emailing other reporters who failed to note that she "broke" the story. Those highly amusing posts are gone from his site too.
