Because it comes with cook us politics, the bottom line. Next gen murder, fox news viewers state to, to see where the families media dynasty goes from. Here. Holdens government goes after a film director for exposing the countries of style treatment of refugees plus chick talk. And the multi elements of the italian under world are surfacing on line the alarm Richard Gilbert and youre at the listening post where we provide explanatory journalism about journalism. If youre preparing for your own succession, putting the final touches on the legacy, you start by appointing an air. And you do that when youre still in a position, a state to control what comes next. Thats what Rupert Murdoch did last week handing the reins to his global media empire to his eldest son lockwood. But in this real life story of succession, there may be some twisted in the tail complications to come. When murdoch, whose 92. 00 does eventually die 3 of laughlin, siblings might have somebody to say about who ends up in charge of the family for news court. And by extension fox news, they have a different brand of politics, perhaps a different vision for the future of the murdock empire. Laughlin takes over news corp with plenty on his plate and upcoming us selection, and a major lawsuit over foxes coverage of the last election. Considerate that extended audition, for the job of running one of the biggest, most influential and according to its critics most dangerous news organizations on the planet. The speculation began decades ago. When will Rupert Murdoch hand over his global media empire and to who, who will end up controlling fox news and the wall street journal in the us talk tv the times and the sun in the sky name is this trail. Yeah. And 7 of the 12 National Daily papers there. Hundreds of news outlets across 3 continents, Publishing Companies and streaming services for now murdock has anointed his eldest son laughlin. Choosing him over james and the 2 sisters, elizabeth and prudence. Call it a pre emptive strike. Rupert murdoch is doing what he can, while hes still can to control the future of the company. He created the true succession and more fascinating. The story unfortunately begins added death with river murdoch passive. Thats when really it will start to see massive changes, the family trust splits for ways. So lockley and it was served while hes running the company. Now when it comes to the Decision Making after his father passes, that will be split. And so thats where the torque conversations, the tests negotiating the allies share between the siblings will really start to take hold rip it is in fine health. Hes not lived until a 103. He is 92, so it might not happen for quite some time. Yet, and i did report in my book that there was an intention among the siblings on roof. Its passing to reset control of the metal Family Businesses in a way that promotes and enhances democracies around the world rather than undermine laughlin is to the right of his siblings politically. And the divide between them has deepened, starting and november. Murdock will hold the honorary title of chairman emeritus where he is and you could also see this is a sideways move into being an ameritas within the company. We put we spring is the air of laughlin and still playing a very Important Role. Its been a rocky couple of years for my, those companies, some expensive settlements, some difficult political relationships. So you could speculate the now is as good a time as any to make that move. The murdoch sons of always been considered the heirs apparent to the empire for a time. The biggest thing that the last one had going for him. Apart from sharing his fathers conservative politics, was what he didnt take. He left in news corp in 2005, focused on australia and made some investments of his own. Theyre outside of the mainstream meet. So laughlin wasnt around 5 years later when the phone hacking scandal broke in the u. K. James had to carry the can on that along with rupert at the judicial inquiry that followed by a tumble that my life the product goes. So im returned in 2014, when laughlin untouched by the stigma around the Family Business in the u. K. Took on a senior position at news core, and then fox news in the us, the 2020 president ial election was not fair. No honest person would claim that it was fair. But laughlin was on the inside for a journalistic scandal far worse than phone. Hack foxes, merchandising of Donald Trumps stolen election claims which the network and the murdocks knew to be lies but broadcast anyway, the lawsuits that followed have cost fox, almost 800000000. 00 and counting. Yet none of that has damage to walk on the way phone hacking. Did james, at least not in the eyes of his fault, to walk them us in a way the last man standing so giants fairly or unfairly was tommy spied the fine hacking scandal. He was running News International that he was never respond symbol for the newspapers when they were doing the actual funding hacking party was responsible for the companys response to the financing scandal. And he was tiny spot and started laughlin was the only one left. Laughlin murdocks, uh, role at uh, fox news. It, its quite damaging to see that, even as the network knew, that donald trump had lost the 2020 election that his claims of Election Fraud were false. Those claims were nonetheless being peddled on a constant basis on fox news. They were so concerned that they could lose their audience to more extreme rivals. They were willing to put the very fabric of american democracy in jeopardy. And we saw the results of that strategy on january 6th of 2021000. 00 strongly capitals after a rally with president trump, during which he 1st them to march on the capital. The question now becomes, what if anything, changes at news corp. Now that laughlin murdock has been chosen by his father to call the shots, is the strategy to prioritize ratings and corporate profits over journalistic accuracy and ethics here to stay past behavior. What suggest laughlin is not one for attorney, but can he afford not to change . Fox settled the dominion voting systems lawsuit out of court, but a 2nd Defamation Case launched by another voting machine. Company smart matter is still to be adjudicated and the ask is 2700000000. 00. That is the conundrum. This fox alter its journalism to limit future legal damages, because doing so would risk alienating its audience and driving down its own ratings. Lockman murder statement suggests that he does not care if his network is putting us democracy in jeopardy. Whats most significant is what fox news became in the years of which he was running it beginning in in 2018 or so a propaganda outlet for Donald TrumpsWhite White House promoting White Nationalist conspiracy. Theories. Demagoguery on the levels that even for fox news was unusual mark on my side that i but they have actually, behind the scenes been very careful about how like, how about those by so stolen election claims ever since the dominion case and you want say, trump live on fox news, all the interviews that theyve done have been pre typed, you have said within days of the dominion settlement, the benching of the most popular la prime town anchor tucker carlson. Hes clearly wanting to make moves that will make his mark the day after Rupert Murdoch for explanation. He pointed to board members, one of which was the former Prime Minister of australia, tony abbott, who is a Climate Crisis, deny, or lockman. Murdock is not only making his mark, but also maintaining his fathers legacy when it comes to that type of viewpoint in the world. What Rupert Murdochs retirement announcement provided was a sneak preview of how his obituary will read. A story of wealth amassed influence. Well damaged not that murdock will care about what his critics on the outside are saying about his legacy. There are all kinds of new sources all around the world, saying nice things about his own. We are living in the world that Rupert Murdoch made creating a global media empire on 3 continents based on the understanding that he could sell right wing grievance, an anger and misinformation, and a mass astonishing wealth and power. One part that has continued to be a part of his legacy is denying the Climate Crisis that were in promoting lies and skeptics and fall. So its about climate change, even though none could provide any evidence to that for voting of the election live here in the us and promoting donald trump hocking into the phones of celebrities and crime victims and others. So many examples that have furnaces, reputation, and been controversial. I was particularly struck by Rupert Murdochs a so called resignation statement, where he railed against the power of a league. It takes such an enormous amount of foot to say that when you have the wealth and the privilege of anyone in the mode or find the prison, to many politicians continue to count child to re put not all, no one known Alexis Parson should wield, that kind of influence for me, the real question is not so much about what will happen in the real life succession. But more about why we allow such large media conglomerates an empire has to exist. Turning to poland now where the country is ruling a law and Justice Party is launched. A campaign targeting a director whose new film focuses on the treatment of refugees at poland. Borders mean actually rocky is here with the beach due to the green border is the new drama from direct to i me ask a holland the same thing.
