Rupert Murdoch has won a protracted legal battle to ensure his son Lachlan controls the family empire after his passing. Over the past few years, 94-year-old Murdoch has been battling out in court to ensure that Lachlan will retain full control of his father’s media empire, which includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and The Times of London. Fox Corp and News Corp both confirmed on Monday long-running dispute over the Murdoch family trust had been settled. Under the new arrangement, the previous structure of the trust is being dismantled.

Interesting...this is the opposite of my original understanding of the power rearrangement that had been reported. Keeping Laughlin away is a good thing.

I read another article this morning that said the exact opposite, that Lachlan would be in charge.

I think the confusion caused by this article stems from the "....Lachlan’s three oldest siblings...." phrase which actually meant the 3 oldest of his set of 5 siblings. The sequence of Murdoch's total of of 6 children is 2 girls, followed by Lachlan, followed by James, followed by 2 more girls. The article is correct in naming Lachlan, who is in fact the oldest son (of the 2 sons), as the more conservative and sole Fox controller going forward. Got it? :)

The original irrevocable trust, which Murdoch later contested to break in Reno NV lawsuit, left all of Murdoch's assets, including the Fox empire, to his 4 oldest children. He later decided that Fox should be left exclusively to his oldest son Lachlan, so as not to financially endanger/dilute its future conservative bent.

Forcing leftist leadership on Fox would have pushed them into the alphabet dustbin with the rest of the lying enemedia and the family fortune would have disappeared. Jesse Waters would have been driving a Ford Focus in a couple of years.

These little family squabbles are so boring...the old man....Rupert Murdock started the company...and helped it grow to where it is today...and his word should be the last...unless...of course he's a little light in his thinking....and if you want my opinion...I'd like to see Rupert on the television...no "editing"...stating what he wants to happen to his company....

Sorry, but after the 2020 election and 2022 "settlement" with DVS, Fox News has made itself the one news reporting organization that I cannot rely upon for election news. I thus choose not to rely upon it for anything. You want real news? Go to Newsmax, OANN, Salem, or seek out smaller independent outlets on the web. And no, I'm not an investor in any of these... just a person who's reasonably satisfied that he's getting real reporting...

Common sense is apparently on an extended vacation. Men and boys, under the banner of "trans inclusion," have waltzed into women’s private spaces and sports, leaving chaos and concussions in their wake. This is dangerous absurdity and, while some battles are being waged, the war on women and girls is getting uglier. One recent story covers volleyball, where three brave women from Santa Rosa Junior College filed a Title IX complaint to boot a transgender, male-born player from their team. Why? Because this “trans-female,” Ximena Gomez, allegedly smashed a volleyball into a female opponent’s face, sending her crumbling with a concussion. These women are not alone.

There’s a reason why the J6 Committee deleted the records of their activity, an angle missed by most. When you understand what they hid and why they did it, you then understand why current Speaker of The House Mike Johnson will not go near the subject. The J6 Committee used interfaces with the NSA database and pre-existing portals with aligned DHS Social Media databases (including Twitter, see prior “Twitter Files”), as research and evidence gathering mechanisms for their investigations.The J6 targets were identified through a collaboration between the legislative research group and the FBI. [That’s unlawful by the way – but that’s another matter].

Trump signed an executive memorandum on Tuesday, directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance transparency in direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. It calls for mandating more detailed disclosures of side effects. This initiative, spearheaded by HHS Secretary Robert F.
