This guy isn’t actually changing anything by announcing he is leaving the board of Fox News Corp and will only serve as chair emeritus. That’s a complete head fake.
Rupert Murdoch will never give up control of the media enterprise he assembled, and Lachlan Murdoch is even more entrenched with the ideology of leftism than his father. It is a complete misnomer to look at Ruperts announcement and think he’s handing the baton.
This guy doesn’t give up anything, ever.
Instead, what we see is even more leftist, multinational corporate media nonsense within the media empire the guy created.
Recent examples like the Sunday Times targeting Russell Brand, the Wall Street Journal targeting Ken Paxton, the New York Post doing push-polls to prop up DeSantis, and Fox News doing the passive aggressive thing to support the Never Trump coalition. The bloom is off the ruse, and people can see through these nonsense press releases.
NEW YORK – Fox News executive chair Rupert Murdoch will transition from his role overseeing the Fox Corporation and News Corp boards, he announced Thursday morning.
Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert’s eldest son, will serve as the sole executive at the helm of the media empire, he wrote in a note to the company’s staff. The 92-year-old businessman will stay on as chair emeritus at Fox and News, he said.
[…] “For my entire professional life, I have been engaged with news and ideas, and that will not change,” Murdoch wrote. “But the time is right for me to take on different roles, knowing that we have truly talented teams and a passionate, principled leader in Lachlan.”
Murdoch didn’t further specify the reasons for stepping down, but noted that he’s in good health.
“I am truly proud of what we have achieved collectively through the decades, and I owe much to my colleagues, whose contributions to our success have sometimes been unseen outside the company but are deeply appreciated by me,” he wrote. “In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas.” (more)
If you want to see his next set of moves, watch the lead up to, and the outcome of, the Reagan Library debate.
A press release from a press master. Hearst would blush at today’s BS.
Is that Valerie Jarrett to his left? As if being at the table with Jeb wasn’t bad enough.
Ja.
I think I’ve seen that picture of that table group before , a real crew sitting there together …forget who …
You mean like this one?
What is George Wallace doing fraternizing with that filth?
It gives me the creeps!
“Please clap”
Yep! The true black Iranian horse.
Yes. There are a LOT of incestuous photos if you look hard enough.
Why does uni-party come to mind centered around trillions of dollars at stake?
When Rupert was in Oxford he kept a figure in Lenin on his fireplace
He was called Red Rupert
When he was a child his parents took him to meet the Pope
When his father died, he inherited a newspaper in Australia and became Australia’s youngest CEO
His father was used by enemies of Churchill to leak the Gallipoli campaign disaster on Fleet Street, and became a national anti-war, anti-censorship, free speech, nationalist hero
When Julian Assange was arrested his newspapers did eff all, even though Murdochs entire empire is built on anti-war/leaker Asutralian pride
The real heirs to the Murdoch empire will be his Chinese children to a probable Chinese “student” aka SPY
Is he kin the the guy in the orange jump suit in sc who was convicted of killing his family? Same last names.🦨
Murdoch. Murdaugh.
another fun fact
KRM was in Washington DC Sep 10, 2001, having dinner with the Australian Liberal PM John Howard, i.e. they had dinner together in DC the night before 911
the next day, during the Pentagon attack, John Howard Liberal PM was doing a press conference while the plane hit, big thud, John jumps
try and find that fun fact
totally memory holed
I know this, I was working for News Corp at this time
It took me a while to figure out who KRM was. For those who might not know KRM=(Keith) Rupert Murdoch.
thanks!
Murdoch never took America’s values to heart. After all he is a foreigner. Roger Ailes wife said that the Murdochs never loved or understood America or its values, and have wreaked havoc on Fox News. Piss off, Rupert!
I agree with that absolutely and Roger Ailes created Fox News Network totally from scratch , it was His creation ( and he was a good true friend of Rush Limbaugh ) and then they treated him like a scrap of garbage and gave him the bum’s rush out of there—ungrateful total hypocrites -have not watched since election night btw…
I would love to see the evil propaganda empire he created wiped off the planet!!
Didn’t we get rid of our British Overlords centuries ago?
Yes , but he’s Australian
he gave up his Australian citizenship to buy Fox News
Australian by birth , reply to Marquis British comment
I have no doubt KRM is tied into MI6, but he is famously anti British Monarchy, how much of that is front, like his USA USA Fox News blah blah
he is born in Australia, but he formally relinquished his Australian citizenship to become a USA citizen to buy Fox News
he is the original globalist, deeply tied into Wall Street, City of London, Sydney Stock Exchange
so, yeah, a globalist British Overlord (Globalist style) sure
Trying too hard ….for simple answer – he was born in Australia
thanks for being simple Nycjoe
Sarcasm …? , but it is impressive that you have no doubt he is tied into MI6… is he , in fact, then the real “M”…good to know …
What is M16?
Think James Bond ….
MI5 and MI6 (letter I, not a # 1) both are British Intel.
Australia was established as a penal colony of Britain. We can easily research Rupert’s background.
Not saying that his forefathers were actual criminals but hated the Brits and possibly many others.
True- colonized initially by prisoners and their guards – There is a joke they tell about Australia – every Australian you meet says their ancestors were the guards ….
British decendent of a prisoner?
see my comment above just now ….
Foreigner. Had to give up his Australian citizenship because it was illegal for a Foreigner to buy an American
News Agency.
Rupert should NEVER have been given the clearance to own any American news source.
Roger Ailes was the true innovator of FOX News. When he was there FOX was a champion of conservative causes.
Rupert is, or might as well be, controlled opposition or a double agent as you say. His children are leftists and FOX is neocon gone wild over Ukraine.
People who are not paying close attention still trust FOX, but remember, they called Arizona for Biden when the polls closed in 2020, and have had it in for Trump from the start with the first debate in 2015.
And I so agree. However, do we know if anything is true? What if Murdoch has been a double agent to subvert the US media market?
After all, Walter Cronkite was part of Operation Mockingbird…
I think it is a a bit different. Foreigner can’t own an entity with an FCC issued broadcast license, under the theory that the US gov’t owns the airwaves and you need a license to transmit. Has no direct bearing on “news agency” (whatever that is).
Penal Colony of Britain.
That is how America was made.
Not really – please a little history ( but I thought it was African slavery that , oh never mind ) …. Sorry D Minus grade in that subject …
I don’t think so. City of London still controls us via the banking cartel. US govt is captured.
Nope, Trump bankrupted it in 2020.
Now we have foreign fiendish (friendly) governments and five eyes.
Nope, we became the USA corporation of London in 1870. Controlled until Trump bankrupted it in 2020.
Agreed he didn’t give up anything he’s still the last word.
And I bet he’s livid that his boy Desantis has collapsed and the money is looking at Trump again.
Sorry mate.
Aussie commies can be the worse as we saw during covid con! There be tyrants roaming the earth, Murdoch proves it!
Those to bonehead kids of his won’t gain control of all that money till he is dead, and maybe then not even then. Can’t trust them with his money, like all rich peoples kids, they will waste it!
I don’t watch fox. Owned by parent company dc cesspool llc
The man in the picture is Alexander or Jonathan Soros?
George Soros hands over his $25 billion empire to one of his sons
https://www.businessinsider.com/george-soros-hands-over-25-billion-empire-37yo-son-alex-2023-6?op=1
In your link:
“Alex might be seen as a left-leaning equivalent of Roman Roy from “Succession.” Describing himself to the Journal as “more political” than his father, Alex has been to the Biden White House 17 times since April 2022, according to White House visitor logs.”
-17 times
Well, the WEF and the Soros crew needs to make sure Biden, I mean Obama’s team, are following through on their planned efforts.
Soros has a Number 2 son, Jonathan, who lives and works in Berkley CA. I hope Jonathan is ok with total control going to Alexander.
Looks psycopathic. Young Alexander educated at UCBerkely
Ha!!!! Maybe HOME-schooled?!!!!!
Ugh.
Wimpy, simpy, limp wristed beta boy right there.
Embarrassing.
I wonder how he would look if those glasses were BEHIND his eyeballs?
“The bloom is off the ruse. . .”
Assuming that spelling is intentional, very clever!
If it’s Sundance and it’s clever, it’s intentional.
Clever, intentional, and used whenever appropriate.
Of course, that’s the very soul of clever.
Classic!
Soros got his money shorting countries. Murdoch got their money selling trashy tabloid gossips.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Soros is getting his share of that sweet and continual flowing Ukrainian aid. Of course, almost all of it flows back to the Democommunist Party.
Ukrainian bank holds aid. It enters into stupid hedging trade with US firm (sore ohs). Trade fails for Ukrainian bank. Counterparty (sore ohs) makes effortless trading gain. Money lawn der ing made easy. US regulator no investigate hedge fund, especially not a sore ohs fund, because, you know, they can afford losses and are wealthy traders per dodd frank junk laws. Then gains for sure are not investigated. Meanwhile heavy losses in Ukrainian banks with sore ohs counterparties get no investigation as they are off shore-not our (us regulator) problem. Awe shuckie darns we lost on that trade says Ukrainian banker. Meanwhile, plenty of “trading gains” fund the caravans, dominion, antifa.
…
Boom
…
If you look at genius sore ohs hedge fund trades, the big ones where he makes bank, you will most certainly find losing counterparties who have lost their recently granted US foreign aid.
…
Purposely losing on stupid trades is how funds are laundered. It is so obvious. They even pay taxes back to the government on the government money they clean.
…
For the record, I am OK and would not off myself.
A match made in h311
Remember when they said;
‘Fox News settles with Dominion, pays more than $787 million to avert defamation trial over its 2020 election lies ? ‘
Yeah, that was a lie too. Why are some lies more believable to conservatives then others?
The media has been saying “election lies” all day when they talk of Murdoch stepping down. Every single newscast I heard made sure to mention it that way today.
Fake news is fake news. Always has been, always will be.
Its All Staged BS
If this old fossil vapor locked right now the world would be a better place
Yep him and the turtle!
And the hag from Nappa.
I’d like to know when some of these geriatric fossils are going to start dying. They have done enough damage to our country.
Sadly their children will be worse as they pass their flaming torches to their evil seed.
Gyorgy passing the torch to Alex got that ball rolling.
Valerie Jarrett : Jeb, Barry wants to know if you’re really “low energy” and don’t ask me why I’m pulling on Rup’s tie.
Turtle twin bro.😂🦨
I read in NY Post that Rupert, with the free time on his hands , is considering a run for the US Senate -he will be at about the right median age for that Chamber
Rupert Murdoch and Georg soros are proof only the good die young
R.D.
Or that those monkey gland injections really work ….
But is it really monkey’s? How would that work?
Probably young boys. Why do you think they’re pushing this s3x change stuff so hard?
There is an old off color joke about using experimental injections of monkey glands to recapture youthful energy including sex drive etc and dog glands and mixing up the two …..—Spoiler alert —One old guy that gets the monkey glands injection and is entirely rejuvenated and jumps around like a teenager etc . and his wife tells her friend about it and about his renewed sex drive etc and the friend gets her husband to take the injections , but the scientists mix it up and unknowingly give her husband the dog glands injection by mistake -the scientists later ask the wife how he is doing ? and she tells them she can’t understand it – all her husband does now is sit by the fireplace and lick his b-lls ,,,, Bata boom …
Haven’t watched fox since they participated in 2020 election theft.
I dropped them way before that – smelled a rat in that kitchen even before Sean the Timekeeper started his “tick-tock” monkeyshine.
2007 for me.
Well,
Little Rupey failed on Paxton, is failing on Ronnie DeSadness and will fail on Brand (RUMBLE is standing with Brand).
Murdoch’s influence is fading, one ruse at a time.
That’s because the legacy media is dying- cuz of Rumble, Truth, ect.
Rupert is turning into a mush brained stiff much like FJB and Mitch McConnell! The whole deposition he had to give with the Dominion lawsuit was a humiliating embarrassment and why FOX had to push for a settlement because they couldn’t afford another half brained humiliation and spectacle again!!! 😑
Hmmm, I wonder how much of that “settlement” was paid for with US taxpayer funds. After all, when Ukraine is laundering $100B at a time, $787M is a drop in the bucket.
My guess is that the payoff was a “thank-you” from the Biden maladministration to Murdoch for calling the race early in AZ for Blockhead Joe. The Dominion thing was an attempt by Fox to not lose all their viewers at once, because no doubt that Murdoch is firmly in the commie/chinese camp with Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and (especially) McConnell.
All the talk about election interference makes me wonder. If a foreigner ie. Rudolph Murdock owns a news outlet which says anything political left or right isn’t that foreign influence in an election and his settlement with Dominion more so. Since he was sued the only way not to have committed that crime would have been to have gone to trail, the evidence submitted to a jury, a verdict found, then appealed to SCOTS.
My mistake, 1985 he became American citizen
In name only.
Rupert who?
I remember a Rupert owning a once “conservative” cable TV News station (or so they purported to be).
After the debate debacle in 2015, that channel was consigned to the ash bin.
After Roger Ailes left — it went downhill very quickly.
Watch Nikki Haley rise until she doesn’t. She is their next pick with Ramaswamy. Wall to wall mentions on Fox.
Never trust a thin-lipped woman.
Hahaha! Yeah, “tick-tock” -Hannity the Timekeeper, what a maroon.
Sometimes Hannity is on the radio when I am in the car. Levin was speaking and it was a rant and I did not realize it was Hannity. Levin finished and Hannity said, “I let him go because I like to let the person I am interviewing talk without interruption.” Had to pull over I was laughing so hard.
I cannot listen to Hannity on the radio because he gives off the sleeze vibes so bad that make my skin crawl. Him and his women working with him. Yuck!
If I had a face like that I’d get rid of all the mirrors in the house.
If the road in front of my house had that many ruts as that man’s face does, I’d call it a canyon.
It’s not always true that you can’t tell a book by it’s cover, sometimes it tells the truth.
George W. Bush looked into Putin’s eyes and said he saw his soul. I looked upon this man’s face and saw the souless surface of the moon.
Age: 92 and still coherent. Joe: 81 who knows.
He’s not giving up day to day control.
He’s giving up ‘control of ownership’ – succession planning for “tax purposes,” imo.
Money (or preservation of) is all that this about – keep from probate, squabbles amongst heirs, and lesser inheritance taxes.
That’s all!
Once again SD nails it.
Lachlan Murdoch doesn’t have a winning track record when it comes to various business enterprises he’s attempted. He’s blown tons of money, like the stereotypical Second Generation.
Murdoch always will try to EFF Trump. I have never seen so many in-kind contributions to the Loser Presidential candidates on Fox News lately.
All of the Indian foreigners and other assorted trash cans are interviewed EVERY DAY.
When does equal time for campaigns kick in? Or is Hannity the one who is allowed to have President Trump on for ten minutes per quarter.
Vivek and Nimratta, your foreign skirts are showing.
2 observations about Murdoch and PDJT – they knew each other very well from their NYC days – 1) When Murdoch ditched his attractive Chinese born wife (#3 ) around 2012 /2013 , he wanted their circle of NYC friends to freeze her out /cut her off socially. Ivanka had been friendly with the wife and remained friendly after the divorce . Murdoch was annoyed by this and wanted Donald Trump to tell his daughter to join the freeze out, but Donald Trump refused and told Murdoch that his daughter was an adult and could choose her own friends and he wouldn’t intervene. Murdoch got really angry , was used to getting his way …
2) When Donald Trump went down the escalator in spring of 2015 and officially announced his run for real -Murdoch’s tweeted reaction was something like “ Donald , stop beclowning yourself thinking you can run for the Presidency” – nice eh ….
I remember so well that day after Easter Sunday . . . .
Elian Gonzalez had been whisked away back to Cuba in the early morning hours of Easter Sunday . . . his relatives in Miami were still protesting the abduction all day Sunday but by Monday morning, all the news coverage had vanished, except for some reporting from Fox News that Monday morning . . . but that was going to shut down shortly as well as Fox News was going to have a special about doing business with China and in China the PRC – and it was going to be hosted by Rupert Murdoch. It was set to start at 1:00 pm.
Rupert Murdoch was scurrying about like he was so thrilled and excited to be hosting the likes of Henry Kissinger and other leading figures. He just seemed so jazzed, he couldn’t stop smiling. That was my impression – and I thought that the whole thing had been set up as a deal to get Fox News off the Elian subject and on to other things.
To me, it seemed then that was when Fox News went on a different tack.
I am so sick of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch – you come to OUR country, Rupe – you make a ton of money, people welcoming Fox News into their homes, making you richer and richer . . . and you are scheming for way to “help out” in the messing up of our magnificent country and doing the bidding of whomever the hell it is that wants Russell Brand to shut the hell up . . .
of all things, a Dame of the Empire – writing a letter to an American medica company – Rumble – telling the CEO to cancel Russell Brand -would it be too absurd to wonder if the Dame has a thing for you or anyway is awfully dumb –
would it be possible that it is a concerted effort to crush these other venues of presenting news and discussion because stupid Fox News ratings are in the toilet?
Rupert, I KNOW you smell like dog poop – and |don’t even have Smell-O-Vision –
adjusting your glasses there, take a better look at the signs – as I like to say, “read the room”
Rupert, go home!
His home is USA since 1985.
People CAN be deported.
I’ll bite. What is the Reagan library debate???
The second losers’ debate while Trump will be in Detroit to speak at UAW.

Well, I’ll get an analysis of the next debate from SD & a some other sources but I’m definitely not watching the keebler elves pretend that they’re relevant or worthy of anything but scorn.
Evil man just like sores.I would never watch socialism fox again,
He puts the con in Con. Inc.

Do the powers that be think that when the brown/black people look up and see they are the only ones working while the white people are shuffling through the store in their flip flops and gym shorts that the democrats will have their dream come true? Slavery at its finest.
Can election info rushing through the air be blocked with jamming devices?
Yup, the initial release was too bland, with no fanfare. Once details emerged, it became obvious he was toning down the use of his full name, in association to FOX, to distance himself for the election battle. I whole heartedly agree he may be handing over a title, this does little to convince he will keep his hands off his self made Empire!! This King will fall too. Oh, and I predict a much younger looking retiree, if he is seen publicly again. These people are all cons and frauds. FOX hired Geraldo back in the day! Nuff said.
Read this carefully: “But the time is right for me to take on different roles, knowing that we have truly talented teams and a passionate, principled leader in Lachlan.”
Kinda like Obama and Biden.
The Satanists are going to lose and they hate it:
https://www.theinspiredchannel.com/288900/Speaking-Truth.htm
I don’t believe Rupert Murdoch has been in control for at least the last 15 years. I wish him well. His sons are another story. I haven’t watched FOX for a couple of years and even then, I only DVR’d some of their shows. I still DVR Mark Levin.
Those liberal college boys have already ruined faux news beyond repair……
I must be the only one that was wholly underwhelmed by the news. Didn’t even register on my radar as anything noteworthy. Trump’s reaction to the news was worth listening to, though.
