In reply to the discussion: Rupert Murdoch stepping down as chairman from Fox, News Corp. [View all]PelicanScot_V3
(70 posts)15. Yup. Found this quote on him which doesn't bode well for any improvement at Fox.
"Lachlan Murdoch is viewed as far more personally conservative than his father, who at times prioritized the finances and political influence of his media outlets rather than their ideology. Speaking at an event to launch a right-wing think tank in Sydney earlier this year, the son offered a monologue that could have fit in seamlessly with the lineup of right-wing commentary served up every night by Fox Newss prime-time opinion hosts including an obscure jab at the 1619 Project, The Washington Post reported."
Apparently, he's also a fan of Tucker Carlson.

Isn't Lachlan largely regarded as an even bigger douche than Rupert? So bad to worse?

I think the two books by Stelter and Wolff will make their boat sink at least a little.
