Google Panda noindex question for Wordpress

I've been working on my guitar blog that has tons of duplicate content from press-releases I have posted over the years. Many of those press releases are bringing traffic from Yahoo Search, so if I noindex the page to 'Panda Proof' it, i will ultimately lose rank in Yahoo, right?

Is there a way to just noindex content exclusively for Google? I have an exclusive category dedicated to Press Releases... I am considering moving them to a subdomain, but would rather not.

Any suggestions to get around this issue? Anyone else have any Panda recovery tips? I cringe everytime I delete a page off my website because I am losing traffic from Yahoo

    Okay, I think I got it for now, the simplest way that I could think of was just adding this to the robots.txt file

    Code:
    User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /*news
    I'll just need to be sure to add the string in the URL so Googlebot knows to stay out. This way I can post duplicate content without getting zapped by Google, but can still rank in Yahoo. Seems like a viable solution.
