MURDOCH COUP: Rupert’s Son James Tells Dad To Sell Fox News After Tucker Carlson Firing, $787 Million Dominion Settlement
The fractured Murdoch family is being torn apart by a multi-billion-dollar power struggle over the future of their embattled Fox News in the wake of Tucker Carlson’s ouster and the largest defamation settlement in media history.
Two of Rupert Murdoch’s children, Elisabeth and James, have privately told their dad the family should dump their prized news asset, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
Both Elisabeth and James — whose political beliefs are liberal — are said to be “embarrassed” by the thunderous $787 million settlement with Dominion after Fox News aired debunked election-fraud claims about the voting technology firm.
“Put simply, they don’t want to inherit a conservative media empire — and certainly not one mired in scandal,” said a well-placed source.
It is a dramatic shift in power among the Murdoch children who control the future of the family empire.
