FOX will not fight Microsoft for Yahoo

Go to Reuters original
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rupert Murdoch said on Monday his News Corp (NWSa.N) would not get into a fight with Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) over Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O), confirming what most industry and Wall Street observers suspected.

Murdoch's company has been in talks with Yahoo over a transaction to combine News Corp's MySpace Internet social network and other Internet assets with Yahoo, a source familiar with the talks said earlier.

"We're not going to get into a fight with Microsoft, which has a lot more money than us," Murdoch told investors at the annual Bear Stearns media conference.

Microsoft has made an unsolicited $41.4 billion bid to buy Yahoo.
