Faced with a lawsuit from the Justice Department over its planned merger with Time Warner, the telecommunications giant on Tuesday released a point-by-point rebuttal to the case government regulators have laid out. >The filing, submitted to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, left very little room for common ground. AT&T repeatedly rejected the assertion that its deal to buy Time Warner would violate antitrust law. The merger would give it control of entertainment firms including HBO, Warner Bros. and CNN parent company Turner Broadcasting.  (Time Warner Cable is a different company, and is not part of this deal.)
