Rupert Murdoch is locked in a Succession-like legal battle with three of his children as he seeks to preserve his sprawling media empire’s status as a conservative political force after his death, court documents reveal. The spat was prompted by the 93-year-old billionaire media titan’s move last year to change the terms of a family trust to secure eldest son Lachlan’s position in charge of News Corporation and Fox Corporation.
However, a sealed court document obtained by The New York Times reveals that Murdoch is arguing that Lachlan needs to be able to run the company without interference from his siblings, who are known to be politically more moderate than their older brother. Lachlan needs free rein to preserve the conservative political bent of the media companies and preserve their value for future heirs, Murdoch argues.
