Parsons denies Google-AOL tie-up

BBC News: "Time Warner's chief executive has denied reports that it may be about to sell a stake in its America Online (AOL) unit to Google and Comcast.
Richard Parsons also said there were no plans for a tie-up with Microsoft's search-engine technology.
News agency and newspaper reports said Google had been ready to share AOL with Time Warner and US cable firm Comcast.
Such a deal would have put Google's search tools with Time Warner's TV and film content in a portal.
Any such move would also have addressed criticism from investors of Time Warner's strategy. "
