A more liberal News Corp was a fantasy

For a short, happy time, a world dreamed of a world without Fox News. Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to change Fox Corporation’s current CEO and three other children James, Prudence and Elisabeth at the expense of Fox Corporation’s current CEO in favor of Lachlan, the current CEO of Fox Corporation, was appealed and defeated by the second.
Legal War, Reno, Nevada Godfather II It was difficult to find a place between the eternal and exhausting scene that never made a cut Heritage On the death of Rupert, parallels and progressives, hoping that James, Prudence and Elisabeth would enter, wrestling from Lachlan and direct the Murdoch Media Empire in a more liberal direction. “The court may mean that more liberal Murdochs may have said it in the content of the world’s most powerful conservative media empire” Protector. Andrew Bolt even got a narrative, James railing as a kind of traitor.
Now these serious liberal hopes have fallen in a pile: Murdochs Père and Fils guaranteed the long -term control of the Murdoch propaganda machine at a cost of $ 1.1 billion for Lachlan’s brothers. The Murdoch empire was about three brothers by a fourth parent rather than a dramatic plan to bring back the distant past as a reliable media presence.
The Murdoch business model is surprisingly successful and will be a commercial madness to change it: Fox Corp stock price has increased more than two times since the beginning of last year and the company recently reported The best quarter since its establishment seven years ago, EBITDA is over $ 3.6 billion. Even News Corp, including the company’s Mastheads in Australia and Local Payment TV Service Reichs-Rundfunk-Gecellschaft Strong annual results And he saw that the share price has doubled since 2023.
However, the Fox Corp, the thrown heart of the Murdoch Empire, develops the Murdoch business model of the Murdoch business model of the Western Empire in England and Australia. This model, as Murdochs insists that the critic army insists, right -wing media on its ownBut the encouragement of social and political division and the promotion of white anger and anger. Such things can be realized from the left wing perspective, but to do it from the right -wing perspective, attack immigrants, punch down in the minorities, to reveal distinguished conspiracies with populists, to reveal distinguished conspiracies, to define “liberals” or “communities ,, to include anyone.
Murdochs did not think of this model: the media in both the United States and England has always understood the value of the demonization of tribes and tribes and enemies. However, the model of a new digital age has become clever industrialized to make William Randolph Hearst or Keith Murdoch’s mentor look like Penny Farthings.
And they understood the markets they committed, it is definitely much better than liberal critics. In the 1990s, Rupert felt the increasing anger of white American men and his reaction to Bill Clinton (although Clinton was a model president). He gave a platform to the Tea Party and Trump, which exploded into Republicism between the financial crisis and the destruction of US production, and then connected to Trump in 2015 to bring together the movement of White Men’s Anger. He may have never been in a public duty, but Rupert’s ability to see how the US society changed as an anti -neoliberalism and discrimination.
The idea that other Murdochs, including James, who were in a very different light by those who were sitting on the Tesla Board of Directors and progressed during the telephone hacking scandal, would close this extremely successful business model after the death of Rupert, seemed to be more like a liberal fantasy than the hardened reality of Sarak Snook. And for what end? The model cannot be accelerated; discontent and anger cannot be fluctuated. Hoping to put an end to the role of Fox Corp in the English -speaking world media ecosystem after Rupert Dies, is equivalent to Henry Ford’s last shot after the last kick.
The really meaningful question is not what Rupert dies and what Lachlan wants, but what kind of role Fox Corp will play to the fascist autocracy, especially when the News Corp has. Wall Street Journal. . WSJ He was rightly influenced by Trump’s economic policies, and Trump was a willing follower of the criminal partner in Jeffrey Epstein crimes. This is not to argue that Fox Corp will probably be an unexpected savior of the already terminal US democracy, but that the relationship between a fascist clamp and a large company that makes a profit without dividing without dividing it may not always be a smooth sail, despite regular adaptation. Lachlan can now plan to deal with this difficulty in numbering all kinds of sister competition.
How will it look under News Corp Lachlan?
