  1. Cue succession soundtrack

    If it happens during the current reign of the American monarch that’s going to have some delightful Schadenfreude inducing consequences

  2. Why would you say this publicly before Rupert dies, when he’s still in a position to factor this information into the will? Maybe Lachlan and Lachlan alone will get Fox News now.

  3. That day can’t come soon enough I’ll have a party like no other

  4. Damn. I missed the “when” in “Rupert Murdoch dies” and got excited.

  5. Snake oil salesman promises to do better than daddy snake oil salesman

  11. No he won’t. He will see the money and power and continue to let them say and do what they want

  12. So when will Rupert be returned to Hades? Hasn’t he done enough damage?

  13. There is a rise of other forms of media like OAN and Newsmax that will take their place. Fox will be disowned as soon as it dials anything back

  18. Points for using the word rein correctly

    It’s amazing I feel the relief

  19. Could make the argument it doesn’t matter at this point

  20. He would just get the boot from his own company.

    They make too much money sucking as a news organization.

  21. It does not matter. Either the world at large destroys these propaganda machines, or they continue to control the world.

    Believing that all it takes is a better man at the helm is just buying into the bullshit. Power does not regulate itself.

  24. It’s irrelevant. The people want red meat and nature hates a vacuum. Fox stops being state media and up jump Daily Wire, NewsMax OAN and lord knows who else.

  25. Wow. I thought today was a good day there for a second.

  26. We should play sweepstakes for the date of death. Not all sinister where the far right blame him *for* his death, but just a game where for example, I bagsie the 1st of July 2025.

  27. I cannot appropriately responds to the headline of this post. 🥳

  28. James is just a slight less shitty Murdoch. He’s on the Tesla board.

  29. He’s so good to us. I mean, us. And we’re not worth shit. What a great man!

  31. I wouldn’t believe anything coming out of any Murdock’s mouth.

  33. Fox News is going to go to pieces once Rupert is gone. Same with Fox Sports. His kids will be at war with themselves.

  34. How magnanimous of him. He *may.*

    Is Rupert’s death imminent?

  36. he has the opportunity to do the funniest thing with that news organization
