.... his son with Fascist leaning had total control of the News Corp Empire before the old man kicks the bucket and becomes worm food ?

An irrevocable trust was written years ago giving his four children equal ownership over News Corp. But the courts will not allow the irrevocable trust to be rewritten.
.
The old man's fears and those of the Fascist son he put in charge,... are that once the old man dies things will dramatically change.

Lachlan the Fascist son maybe out voted when it comes to changing the direction of News Corp by the voting shares of his siblings. The siblings seem to prefer News Corp take a sharp turn left into liberal land and away from hyper Fascist Nazi land.

There is lots and lots of money to keep this irrevocable trust in the courts. But at 93 years old Rupert Murdoch's clock is ticking louder and louder as he approaches his final breath. The old man ain't going to live for ever.

Can he lock News Corp into being the Nazi news powerhouse for generations to come. Or will his more liberal offspring out vote the Fascistic format and usher things at News Corp in a more progressive direction,... after daddy kicks the bucket ?

Stay tuned,... we can be sure this courtroom drama will not soon end.

Wouldn't it be delightful if the malicious, devious, Fascist
fux turned into a fuzzy wuzzy cottontail bunny wabbit ?

Apparently Fox wasn't always the fascist den of lies that it is today. In her book, Liz Cheney said that she used to have a show on Fox and she approached them again after the 2020 election conflicts to produce a "special" outlining all that was transpiring back then. According to Ms. Cheney, the "special" was almost finished when it was canceled, never to air.

It would make a big difference to the country if Fox began broadcasting the truth. But would their deluded viewers stick with it or would they change their viewing habits in search of the RW lies that Fox is known for?
