I’m hoping things will change. Things will not change.
His son Lachlan Murdoch is taking over. Lachlan has been co-chair of News Corp since 2014, and a director before that. Given that Rupert is 92, I’m sure that Lachlan has already been calling the shots for a long time. This is not really a change.
Unfortunately his other son who was against his dad’s ways publicly attacked him so he’s got put aside while the smart move would have been to play his game, take over the company and change it.
Why would that have been the smart move? If given the choice of having money and no obligations or having money and inheriting a dumpster fire while lying about what you belief for decades which would you pick? Maybe he doesnt want to be king of the shit pile.
Is Lachlan a Kendall, a Roman, or a Connor?
Hopefully a Greg.
I am only through season 01 so far but I cannot say there is any choice that would be good.
After finishing the series you will have come to the same conclusion.
Shiv sucks too.
God, Shiv sucks. I felt so bad for Tom.

Yep, complete hypocrite that doesn’t stand behind a single thing she supposedly believes in.
I won’t spoil anything but yeah, they all pretty much suck lol.
‘I love you but you are not a serious people.’
Is that Kendall or Roman?

Well his son is now the sole chairman. I’m sure he doesn’t share his father’s ideas, connections or beliefs.
Surely the child of a billionaire conservative who was given control over his daddy’s media empire will have more reasonable and nuanced beliefs that don’t further destroy the world like his father did…right?

I think we should start referring to these people by their titles. Chairman Murdoch

Despair is the enemy of progress.
So is Robert Murdoch and he is almost a 100
Can he step down into a wood chipper next?

Alright I am making a deal right now. If Murdoch goes on a submarine and what I really hope happens does happen I am going to seriously reconsider my atheism.
Come on deity I am pretty sure doesn’t exist. Return me to the fold.
I have some nice aquatical themed gods if you’re interested. You want a squid or a crab?
Ya dont need to worship the Old Ones when the Old Gods are right there, like look at Jormangander he’s even an Oroboris!
Maybe, as long as it isn’t Cthulhu since I am pretty confident that if he has a hand in this it is because he wants the man for some reason. Plus I am sorry but I don’t trust anything that sleeps for strange aeons but doesn’t die.
I’ll give you the crab then
I’m running some sightseeing trips there using my newly designed submersible called the Schmoceangate Schmiton.
I’ve got a special helicopter pilot appointed!
I’m waiting on him to step down from this plane of existence.
Upsettingly, he and Kissinger seem to be eternal
Gotta be a shitty person to become a Lich
True. He must be stepping down to become a Demilich
Despite the name, a demilich was not a lesser lich, but rather a lich who had evolved beyond a need for its undead body.
Fuck, I forgot he was still staining this earth.
Kissinger is 100. He can’t last that much longer… can he?
Maybe it is all the Cambodian children he eats that gives him eternal life.
Even if he does, it doesn’t really matter. He already caused immeasurable damage to the world, destroyed who-knows-how-many lives and got to live well into his 90s in unimaginable opulence.
Plus he’s stepping down on his own terms, nobody ousted him. None of his enemies ever managed to take him down, and he’s got his legacy all set up. When he does eventually die, it’ll most likely be in a comfortable hospital bed surrounded by some the best doctors in the world making sure it goes as well as it possibly can.
He dedicated his entire life to being an evil bastard and he completely, utterly won. I don’t think there’s anything much that could even hurt him at this point.
That’s fucking depressing
Why do the evil always live long lives? Is it because they’re pickled in poisonous thoughts?
His son is also a giant piece of shit but that is not exactly surprising.
Which son? James doesn’t seem too bad.
It’s Lachlan. He’s at least as bad as the old man.
Oof yeah that’s still bad then.
I have a hard time thinking of someone who has done as much damage to democracy, truth and decency worldwide as Murdoch. He’s a truly deplorable person. May he fade away and no longer darken our futures.
“Rupert Murdoch created all of this and so much more across America and the globe,” Hemmer said. “His life’s work has left an indelible imprint on the global media landscape. His contributions are both innumerable and extraordinary and we thank him for letting us be a part of it all.”

I love how nothing in this paragraph says that he was a good person, good leader, or contributed anything beneficial to anybody, ever.
I saw his name and was looking forward to reading an obituary. Unfortunately he’s still going to be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
opposite David Attenborough feelings
Hopefully he steps in front of a bus next.
Name a bigger piece of shit, I will wait
Kissinger. Change my mind.
Die
This is one of the most dangerous men to ever live.
I’ve seen this episode of Succession
I thought >!he died and did not step down.!<
Let me know when he steps down from being alive.

Joke answer is that he is actually the nephew of Atilla the Hun and failed to maintain the Hunnic horde after Atillas death by nose bleed.
Actual answer is he’s 92.
