No More Clicks For Rupert Murdoch

Apparently, his son Lachlan will be sole chairman of both companies.

Could he be worse than the devil we know?

So now it's "clicks for Lachlan"

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

It would be great if Iger would retire (re-retire) also. These old moguls need to go.

Prime time must be on. Only three replies to this post? I guess it’s keeping out the drones.

Bet his health is declining.

Kendall wins!

HAH! If only, R6

I’m watching The View now ( don’t judge), and Whoopi remarked that Lachlan is a Tucker Carlson far.

Lachlan is as bad as his father

James is the “decent” one

Lachlan is an American citizen but he vastly prefers Australia, so that many be why he gives america people like Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson. He sent his kids to Australia to go to school during shutdown because Americans were blaming Lachlan for Covid misinformation and for spreading anti-mask sentiment. Lachy didn’t like that kids at school found this foul and told his kids so.

Lachy also culturally appropriated a native Australian tribal tattoo. He ain’t no aborigine

OH, that horrible old fuck!!!!

He has no neck and it’s freaky

R2, it could still be clicks for Murdoch - it would just refer to a different Murdoch.

Or, the whole thing could just be dropped since it is so very tiresome.

I can’t help but think of “Succession” when I read about these fucks

[quote]Or, the whole thing could just be dropped since it is so very tiresome.

Of course *that's* what you find (so very) tiresome, r12.

The old fuck probably needs time off to search for his fifth wife.

Jerry Hall should have been named chairman in the divorce agreement. That would have been fun to watch at least.

Everything Trump touches dies. Apparently Rupert Murdoch didn't get the memo. In his case, being 92 it might be literal.

Dreadful man

Lachlan is said to be worse and even more right-wing, which is hard to imagine.

What a shame James isn't also elevated right up there with Lachlan to provide a semblance of balance.

Deport them all

Which Roy is Lachlan?

I stereotype Aussies as generous, self deprecating and laid-back compared to Americans. The murderstones defy this stereotype!

Now he can die.

He’s leaving it to his to to fix it. “Fox News” is being sued to death. We can only hope all these suits will kill it like a cockroach.

^ to his Son.

I think he’s a Kendall with a touch of Roman R20

Another 120-yr. old freak who only stops working when they are ready for the Coroner.

I have never seen any pictures of people look happier than this image of the legal team for the Dominion voting systems immediately after settling in their clients favor

Great to see, R27. A $787 million settlement would put a smile on my face too.

Lachlan is a lame duck because once Rupert dies, his shares are split equally among his four children and Lachlan could be pushed out by the other three who don’t like his or Fox’s far right views.

Lachlan knows this which is why he moved to Australia. He knows he’s not going to be the new Rupert.

It's still click for Murdoch R2.

R29, I’ll bet the other kids like money more than liberal views. But the Fox model is definitely going to be outdated in 3-5 years, maybe sooner. And their audience ain’t getting any younger.

Will Lachlan finally come out now?

You're kidding right R32?

It’s will be entertaining watching the family infighting when the old man dies. Unfortunately we and generations to come, will have to deal with the stench he left on the world and our democracy.

Who even knew about the older 2 female children!

Lachlan Murdoch is a huge MAGA Dump lover and reportedly even more conservative than his father.

Meet the Murdochs. A little dated, but still funny and oddly appropriate today.

If he thinks retiring is going to save his old evil ass from all the lawsuits he can think again.

The line in the Australian press is that Lachlan got the job because all of his siblings are embarrassed about the name and want to cash in by selling NewsCorp.

R35 Prudence Murdoch goes pretty much under the radar living in Sydney, enjoying being very rich and supposedly has never had any interest in being involved in NewsCorp management.

Elisabeth Murdoch lives in England where she has been very successful in media. She was once Rupert’s favourite to succeed him but then he switched his focus to Lachlan.

R33 Lachlan was subject to gay rumours when he was living in Sydney in the nineties but I’ve always assumed that they were wishful thinking as he was rich, good looking (which he was at the time ) and he and his wife were very comfortable partying with a largely gay group of friends.

If the money is split equally between all the kids, chances are their goals will be all about the money and give 2 shits about keeping Daddy's empire going. Hoping it's a shit show and they go away. Let Fox die on the vine with its billion dollar lawsuits. They wont be spending their own cash to save it. Hopefully the old man meets his dirt blanket sooner than later.

R38, there were rumors Sarah Murdoch was in a B&D rship with fellow Australian model Jenny Hayman and that a raunchy video of them together exists.

Back in September 97, Revlon gave her a test run in ads placed in US Vogue, Bazaar, etc as Cindy's replacement but her involvement with them ended there.

The other children will probably want to sell Fox because Fox’s business model is becoming obsolete with the decline of linear cable. It simply is a relic of baby boomer habits. All of Fox’s most valuable assets were already sold (especially Sky to Comcast). Look at their assets now. It’s all linear.

So that’s a good thing, right?

Not when this is the most likely buyer.

Change of Twitter to “X” starting to make sense now? Very easy to add two more letters to it. An integrated right-wing television, internet and direct to consumer behemoth.

The deal is probably already done, that’s why Lachlan has retreated to Australia. Just waiting for Rupert to kick it. They probably are removing all the sticky surfaces from under his bath mats.

Michael Wolff, who has no reason to claim otherwise, says that Rupert is still compos mentis though (unsurprisingly) out-of-touch and grouchy. There have been physical issues, however -- he collapsed at his Freud granddaughter's wedding in England and had a fall on a yacht, as I recall. Those will take their toll.

His mother was two months from 104 when she died. Murdoch was 81 at the time.

Like most of us, I have never lived in a world without Rupert Murdoch in it. I hadn't thought of that before today.

He has his father's eyes.

He's like an evil Elizabeth II, R44. She headed up the Firm for 70 years and he has been at the head of his for 70 years also. (Both had longevity genes from their centenarian mothers, too!) Incidentally, he claims to be against the monarchy, even though they've made his British tabloids loads of money.

Rupert is so full of spite he'll hang around to the very end.

Don't be shocked if he dies in the next 3 months. Evil like that needs to feed daily. Once he has nowhere to go every day to rule over those he considers lessers, no one to mistreat, no one's life to ruin or steal from, he won't make it long.

That's why he's bitter. Trump ruined his daily entertainment of providing evil to the masses. Who's he going to be a nasty prick now to? His nurse maid?

The Antichrist is looking pretty hot: Ozempic plus a blondish hair dye?

Apparently he cried when Trump was first elected.

Any details about the gay rumors?

He says he's not embarrassed about the content of Fox News, but he should be.
