I'm hoping things will change. Things will not change.

His son Lachlan Murdoch is taking over. Lachlan has been co-chair of News Corp since 2014, and a director before that. Given that Rupert is 92, I'm sure that Lachlan has already been calling the shots for a long time. This is not really a change.

Unfortunately his other son who was against his dad's ways publicly attacked him so he's got put aside while the smart move would have been to play his game, take over the company and change it.

If you changed fox news, the people who watched fox news would go elsewhere, it wouldn't reprogram them.

The tail wags the dog in this case. Fox is lie based propaganda because its audience demands lie based propaganda.

Is Lachlan a Kendall, a Roman, or a Connor?

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Hopefully a Greg.

I am only through season 01 so far but I cannot say there is any choice that would be good.

After finishing the series you will have come to the same conclusion.

Shiv sucks too.

[–] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God, Shiv sucks. I felt so bad for Tom.

[–] generalpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shiv was arguably the worst of them all

[–] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yep, complete hypocrite that doesn't stand behind a single thing she supposedly believes in.

[–] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming he's still running he company and this is just for appearances or financial reasons. There's no way he won't have control of what they do or say

Despair is the enemy of progress.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
