On the Murdoch family’s latest legal drama
Chris McLenaghan writes: It is easy to dismiss this latest chapter in the real-life Succession as akin to the TV series based upon the Murdoch family.
However, it is worse than that. In his dotage, all Rupert Murdoch and son Lachlan care about is their perception that continuing to imperil all Western democracies (not just the US) matters more than what the likes of Elisabeth and James Murdoch, in particular, want to do to end the damage caused by the continued support of Trump and co.
You only have to see what the diminished power of Murdoch in the UK has resulted in.
