Rupert Murdoch loses in family probate court — Fox News empire may be destroyed by leftist heirs.

quote:

A Nevada commissioner ruled resoundingly against Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to change his family’s trust to consolidate his eldest son Lachlan’s control of his media empire and lock in Fox News’s right-wing editorial slant, according to a sealed court document obtained by The New York Times.
The commissioner, Edmund J. Gorman Jr., concluded in a decision filed on Saturday that the father and son, who is the head of Fox News and News Corp., had acted in “bad faith” in their effort to amend the irrevocable trust, which divides control of the company equally among Mr. Murdoch’s four oldest children — Lachlan, James, Elisabeth and Prudence — after his death.

Let them burn.. I’m ok with fox going left now because they will find out quickly that they will become the next bud light, Disney, etc

Meanwhile, we still have NewsMax and podcasts and X and that’s where the real audience and real news is nowadays

We have a revocable trust. Certainly not in the Murdoch orbit but why in the hell would you ever do an irrevocable trust? Surely there are reasons but damn!

This and the Saints examples are great reasons of how irrevocable trusts can create issues.

BBonds can answer in much more depth than I can.

I m sure the original intention was to take care of all his kids. Learning more about them after the trust was established was a hard thing to accept and tried to correct it. Blame the leftists kids not so much for Rupert as he’s old

I think there are asset protection implications. But his main failure was raising several leftists. How does that happen?
