Murdoch family feud: future of Fox News hangs in balance
Conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch is seeking to transfer voting rights of his family’s trust to his eldest son Lachlan Murdoch.
Analysts say the move aims to keep Fox News under conservative leadership after his passing.
In a Reno, Nevada court, he argued that granting Lachlan Murdoch control is in the best interest of all beneficiaries, including his other children.
However, observers say that a potential legal setback could empower Lachlan’s siblings James, Prudence, and Elizabeth to move Fox News from its conservative roots.
This could reshape the media landscape as Fox News has significantly influenced US politics for two decades, including aiding and abetting the rise of Donald Trump to power.
