@@barrymicockner Rupert and Lachlan are trying to wrest the future control of Rupert’s media empire away from the other family members who would have equal control after Rupert's death.

@@personal_finance_au I too find it strange. I've been an information lawyer now for 41 years. You'd have to be an insider to know the reason with confidence. There is inconsistency. Comments from what I've seen are typically turned off on Facebook, yet recently I've noticed how often they are open on RUclips. Both platforms are under the legal jurisdiction of the United States, though that is probably a not relevant observation. As far as defamation law is concerned the position is that there is exposure in Australia under Australian courts if you say something online even if it be on or in a foreign jurisdiction platform or publication. That legal position follows the High Court of Australia's decision, which I consider unfortunate, in Fairfax Media Publications Pty Ltd v Voller; Nationwide News Pty Limited v Voller; Australian News Channel Pty Ltd v Voller [2021] HCA 27.
Afaik it's up to whoever the showrunner is, although it might be based on how "controversial" a topic seems (possibly why media watch is always turned off?)
Lachlan lives in Australia now and it's a way for him to gauge what Australians' perceptions are about him and his dealings. Gotta feel for his children no matter where they live ...
How can Lachlan be afraid for his bottom line when he has billions? No concern for the viability of the United States. How can we allow a foreign actor to destroy our country. What a coward.
@@SueLee-l9f😮 centre and right an oxymoron. No centre about it. Saying this as an Australian. I would also say the ‘so called ‘left media’ in America it really centre with its nose pointing left tasting the left breezes. Fox may have once been centre right but it ain’t any more. Saying this as an Australian (born in the UK) but like many Australians a child immigrant to oz .
@@SueLee-l9f Most of the media are center right. Fox is like the Hugenberg outfit in Germany that enabled Hitler. And it fits the family tradition through three generations, from Keith almost getting Australian Gen. John Monash, the finest commander of the First World War, fired just because he was of German Jewish ancestry, to Rupert creating deep divisions in Australian, British and American politics over almost the past 70 years, to now Lachlan placing his own wealth and far right ideology ahead of country. The other siblings are proposing a much needed break with that pattern, to stop stirring the pot and causing divisions that profoundly weaken our three countries. If Lachlan wins, it's going to help our enemies. That's it.
@@seemeseeyou456 The other 3 children want to turn Fox News into a reputable news organization. A news organization that doesn't pay out an 800 million dollar settlement because they LIED - ON AIR! and made false claims about the US election being "stolen". So, I don't know what you're talking about. Also remember, there is still another lawsuit pending with Smartmatic. Newsmax just settled with Smartmatic and Fox News will follow - for promoting false lies there!
That was the most hilarious part for me too. Their media channel is continuously spewing anti LGBTQIA+ community hatred. And here he is with his beloved wife donating to Ian Roberts in Sydney for the queer community. What a hypocrite. His profiteering from the divisive message on Fox could topple the world’s biggest western economy if he doesn’t handle this carefully, America is on edge Lachlan. If the US does go awry, you’ll have had a lot to do with it.
What a megalomaniac narcissistic dude to want to control his very shady news businesses from beyond the grave! I’m still trying to figure out how having a bachelors in philosophy qualified Lachlan to run the empire, anyway. And he kept on losing money, and got promoted anyway!! I feel for the other siblings, I really do. It’s just sad to see people with that much money & power make such stupid, short sighted & selfish mistakes.
It appears you did not actually watch the doco you are commenting under which shows L’s intense apprenticeship in the media world & his many very profitable decisions Do you think his whole life and family legacy existing in a media dynasty & decades working in the same are less important than a journalism degree? 😂
@ ofc I watched it. He didn’t earn his position & he wouldn’t hold it without mimicking RM’s business model. I think an MBA could have informed him of others.
Much like mafia syndicates...the people that benefit monetarily from the Murdoch family business cannot question how that money is "earned", disagreement is not tolerated.
Now that daddy has brought the media landscape to its absolute lowest point hand it over so your son can be sued into oblivion for the baseless lies youve promoted. Smart guy.
He’s an intellectual lightweight; unlike his father. It will be an existential problem for a business in that industry to have such a leader….at some point.
Constantly deleting the daughters from the entire story. Even when someone mentions them; ABC, interviewers, media, etc immediately drop them again from the story. No mention of their involvement, views, shares etc in any of this stuff. Ridiculous misogyny.
Great idea. Let's not focus on the two (of several) children most likely to inherit the business, focus instead on the daughter who didn't get it. Oh, what joy. We can follow her around to social events and talk about..... You tell me. Oh right, misogyny in the reporting ...but not the family?
That burrows guy left out the rest of the sentence, if he was cloning honesty: "He wasn't a 'stayer' to be in a truth corrupted business!" He has integrity for truth and justice! As does his sister and 1/2 sister!
I grew up with Lachlan, camping out in our yard in a tent. Good old times. Many times going bike riding with him on the back. If Lachlan ever reads this, be good to catch up. Regards Ray. Oh I need a job.
blood ties might go through egos driven fights, but it will never at bottom of it, be hatred that is some fleeting emotions done by messing with their lives or ego's, any sibling if one is hurt feels the pain no matter how far apart.
Lachlan is the only child of Rupert’s that can do the job. End of story. The other three kids are putting money and power before family, did anyone think of that. Only one of them can do the job, why are they splitting the family up over it? What their politics are and money are more important than their relationship with their brother and ailing father!
why must it come to this stage it is very strange in its volatility of creating differences between siblings, because lets face it parents eventually fade away and in this age group where senior mr. Rupert is, all he should have done is divided it equally without creating bad blood since he has so many kids, let each handle their portion and either make it success or not up-to them
Not even close. I don't particularly like CNN, and Fox has changed a little bit since they had to pay out scads of money, but they're going right up to the edge of the line with their lies and innuendo. It's enough to convince my sister that trump is a great guy and the insurrection wasn't all that bad. SMH
Lachlan is a crook just like his father. He wants control and power to continue damaging democracy and decency in the USA via fox and sky in Australia. Horrible man. His beautiful grandmother Dame Elizabeth Murdoch will probably be turning in her grave to see how bad her son Rupy and grandson Lachlan have turned out.
how can you say anything about anybody who still has to prove their work.. His younger brother was in charge of Asian sector which has star Mumbai and that network had some toxic idiots working there.Anyway coming from family especially my fathers side which was very grounded in justice fairness my great grand father to grand father, before they faut hogaye divided everything absolutely in equal measure to all their children irrespective of gender both male female children got piece of lands relocated of course had they been still in lyallpur pre partition, where my great grandfather owned not one but number of lands villages.. nevertheless moving forward that fairness travels down and for me also it is the same with your children has to be treated fair by dividing equally whatever you have, so children never have bitterness with each other and harmony between them prevails while life is going to leave you at some time.
Lachlan and Rupert both valuing money and power over truth and family. True conservative moral and family values on display.
It has nothing to do with that lol all of them are getting money A LOT of money. It’s about who rupert wants to run his empire

“You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.”
They should write a mini-series about this. But wait, they have!
Lachlan is like his father Rupert. Trump is like his own father too. Eventually, the end should be alike.
As the second wife of Murdoch could predicted decades before, the succession is going to break the family.

The irony speaking of tolerance diversity rights-the power and wealth made from promulgating hatred, division, disharmony
And saying that no elites should own the media, when you are that elite 🙄

That ‘bachelors degree in philosophy’ isn’t particularly impressive. Apparently he just needs to be meaner to be successful.
Was Lachlan responsible for firing Tucker Carlson?
I do not envy their life one bit.
This video is worse than an American soap opera. I support Donald Trump because it is obvious that he will be the last nail in the coffin of the USA.
Rupert Murdoch is vile, including that son.
This is the worst journalism ive witnessed. The bias in line with a lack of truth, in fact filled with misstruths is revealing.
Are you going to give examples, or just complain?
I recommend Fox News for you then. Plenty of bias reporting over there on that demonic network.
State your evidence, at least 3 points of it.
How sad ! Such a financially successful and powerful man whose family is at war with each other… not so much of a great dad to his kids… 😅😅
Nor husb to his multiple wives . A textbook nihilist like his protégée , Lachlan
No ethics in that family.
Just as I thought. The comments below are chessey and cringeful.

His children are being educated in Australia. To prevent them being Americanised any further. As they'd end up like you. Enjoy that won't you.
