Not 'going to get into a fight' with Microsoft
News Corp. (NWS.A:17.79, -0.37, -2.0%) (NWS) Chairman Rupert Murdoch reiterated Monday that the company has no interest in getting into a bidding war with Microsoft (MSFT) over Yahoo (YHOO) . "Yahoo missed out," Murdoch said of the search engine and portal, having acquired Overture several years ago, only to underspend on it and watch Google (GOOG) overtake Yahoo with a more than 60% share of the search engine market share in the U.S. "We're very happy to be in the Google camp," Murdoch went on. "They sell out search advertising, and they pay us well for it." News Corp. is the parent company of Dow Jones, which includes MarketWatch.
