Murdoch seeks to dent Google's ad dominance after YouTube revolt Rupert Murdoch is hoping that Google's pain might be his gain. Murdoch's News Corp. is introducing a service that it says canensure online ads don't appearnext to fake news or offensive videos, marking the latest salvo in the billionaire media mogul's long battle with the world's biggest search engine.(Ad Age)
