Yahoo has cherry-picked talent from The New York Times again to bolster its editorial product. Matt Bai, former chief political correspondent for the Times Magazine has joined Yahoo News as national political columnist. His hiring follows on the heels of ex-Times tech columnist David Pogue signing on to lead consumer tech coverage at the Web portal. Megan Liberman, another Times veteran, was named Yahoo News editor-in-chief in September.
