This article is an instalment in a series, Project Harmony, on Rupert Murdoch’s secret plan threatening to blow up his family.
Rupert Murdoch doesn’t, after all, believe that he’s immortal. Raging against the dying light, the recently married emperor emeritus has made his move. His goal: to continue his reign, even after it carries the minor inconvenience of his being dead.
After so many years spent dangling the News empire succession in the manner of, well, Succession, torturing his ambitious children while refusing to die, the Sun King has broken cover and gone all in on what normal people would call the gamble of his life, but that he probably sees as just another turn of the eternal screw.
