Murdoch Family Legal Feud Could Alter Fox News' Future
Rupert Murdoch's children are in a legal battle to stop changes to the family trust that would favor his son Lachlan. The closed-door hearing in Nevada could significantly impact Fox News and other parts of Murdoch's media empire.
A high-stakes legal battle unfolds in a Nevada tribunal as Rupert Murdoch's children attempt to block changes to the family trust that would favor his son Lachlan.
Murdoch's other children, James, Prudence, and Elisabeth, oppose the modifications that could shift control of the media empire, including Fox News, to Lachlan.
The closed-door hearings, despite media requests for access, could have significant implications for Murdoch's media conglomerate, which includes News Corp and Fox Corporation.
The feud echoes themes from the TV show 'Succession,' focusing on control over a sprawling media empire with political influence.
