The vacant throne Of the Murdoch family
“It doesn’t matter who you are or how you feel about the Murdoch family; one thing is an undeniable fact. In the world of media and communications, few families have left as indelible a mark as the Murdochs. With a legacy spanning multiple generations and continents, the Murdoch family has played a pivotal role in shaping global media. Everyone who knows them or knows of them understands one thing: Rupert Murdoch is the chain that binds the family together and keeps order within the family’s vast empire. If you have seen the show Succession, you have a small inclination of how dangerous and powerful the individuals of this family are and what chaos they can bring upon this world if their powers were to remain unchecked.
With all that being said, you can understand why Rupert Murdoch’s decision to step down as the chairman of Fox and News Corp sent shockwaves through the world. We all know that Rupert has a favorite and that he has always wanted his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, to inherit his throne. But Rupert is 92, and he may have been continuously releasing articles saying he’s never been healthier, but who knows how much longer he has left to live? Can he secure Lachlan’s seat on the throne before his time is up, or will his other son, James, or his daughter, Elisabeth, take the throne? Actually, can the Murdoch family empire even survive without Rupert’s cunning and overwhelming hunger for power that brought him to the very top of the world?”
