In May 2008, [[Microsoft]] retained LMG on what was reportedly a "six-figure monthly retainer," to oppose a [[Google]]-[[Yahoo]] advertising deal. "Immediately afterward, anti-Google coalitions of dubious provenance--an LMG specialty--sprouted. The [[American Corn Growers Association]], the [[League of Rural Voters]], and a group called the [[Latinos in Information Sciences and Technology Association]] (LISTA) sent a letter to the [[Justice Department]] asking it to investigate Google's 'search monopoly.' Prior to that time, those groups had no history of aggressive anti-Google advocacy," reported CNET News. <ref name="NetN"/> <ref>Declan McCullagh, "[http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-9966971-38.html Secretive D.C. firm says corn growers' anti-Google letter is legit]," CNET News, June 12, 2008.</ref>
