Reuters: Yahoo is said to have shortlisted close to 10 bidders in the auction for its core Internet assets, with most offers involving cash rather than a combination with another company. Some bidders that did not make the shortlist because their first-round offers were not specific enough are still being kept close to the process by Yahoo’s advisers. One of those bidders is said to be Liberty Media chief John Malone, who has proposed a merger with one of the companies he controls.
