Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is on the cusp of his biggest win yet in his war against Google: a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit against the internet giant. News Corp representatives have met privately with the justice department about the investigation. The trade group, the News Media Alliance, sent the report to the justice department. News Corp, the justice department and Google all declined to comment about News Corp’s campaign. Last autumn, after the justice department had announced the investigation, Barr met with Murdoch in New York, according to the New York Times.
