This guy isn’t actually changing anything by announcing he is leaving the board of Fox News Corp and will only serve as chair emeritus. That’s a complete head fake.
Rupert Murdoch will never give up control of the media enterprise he assembled, and Lachlan Murdoch is even more entrenched with the ideology of leftism than his father. It is a complete misnomer to look at Ruperts announcement and think he’s handing the baton.
This guy doesn’t give up anything, ever.
Instead, what we see is even more leftist, multinational corporate media nonsense within the media empire the guy created.
Recent examples like the Sunday Times targeting Russell Brand, the Wall Street Journal targeting Ken Paxton, the New York Post doing push-polls to prop up DeSantis, and Fox News doing the passive aggressive thing to support the Never Trump coalition. The bloom is off the ruse, and people can see through these nonsense press releases.
NEW YORK – Fox News executive chair Rupert Murdoch will transition from his role overseeing the Fox Corporation and News Corp boards, he announced Thursday morning.
Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert’s eldest son, will serve as the sole executive at the helm of the media empire, he wrote in a note to the company’s staff. The 92-year-old businessman will stay on as chair emeritus at Fox and News, he said.
[…] “For my entire professional life, I have been engaged with news and ideas, and that will not change,” Murdoch wrote. “But the time is right for me to take on different roles, knowing that we have truly talented teams and a passionate, principled leader in Lachlan.”
Murdoch didn’t further specify the reasons for stepping down, but noted that he’s in good health.
“I am truly proud of what we have achieved collectively through the decades, and I owe much to my colleagues, whose contributions to our success have sometimes been unseen outside the company but are deeply appreciated by me,” he wrote. “In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas.” (more)
