The Murdoch family is fighting over future control of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.
Rupert Murdoch wanted to change the terms of his family’s trust to ensure that his son Lachlan would be his successor upon his death, but a Nevada probate commissioner rejected his bid.
Murdoch, 93, initiated the effort to change the terms of the trust last year to preserve the conservative orientation of his sprawling media empire. As first reported by the New York Times this summer, the elder Murdoch was concerned that a “lack of consensus” among his three other older children would have financial consequences for the company.
But probate commissioner Edmund “Joe” Gorman Jr. ruled against the effort, deeming it a “carefully crafted charade,” the New York Times reported on Monday afternoon. The case will now move to a district judge who could choose to affirm the recommendation, deny it or send it back for additional inquiry.

False. Nevada is fictional. 😂
Newest episode of Succession looks great
succession theme starts playing
He can do what ever he wants with his company.
Of course he doesn't want to give it to the liberal kid that owns liberal media liberal media destroyed its credibility this last election lol…. And if the dad owns the company is going to be able to give it to whatever son he wants to the whole it going to court thing makes no sense it's just liberals crying more…. So now that MSNBC and CNN is out how long until the Washington Post is out to?????
He should be able to give what he wants to his children, they are already millionaires and it is HIS will
Ok but like why is this going to court I thought when it comes to wills or passing down ownership of companies the government gets no say
Ironic that WP is making this and they’re owned by Bezos
The Lich King divides his empire among his spawncruxes; disappointing for any spawncrux #notthefavouriteloldiepoor
How does the future vice president have so much time to make these?
man, i thought nevada was a conspiracy
My teacher was family friends with them and I knew them as well 💀
Need to get rid of Fox news
Him in the grinch pajamas just reminds of crazy out of control kids 😂
Why does the government get a say in who inherits anything from anyone?
Literally succession
Feel like this is a family issue unless there are some strings being pulled (besides the would-be inheritor having different political views)
"Sucession" but real!
OH THE SAVAGERY! FOR THE KIDS WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF ASSESTS OHHHHHHHHH THS SUFFERING THAT CHOICE MUST HAVE CAUSED why!! WHY MUST A SINGLE CHILD GET THE COMPANY THOSE BEAUTIFUL BABIES WANT TO BE BILLIONAIRS NOT MILLIONAIRS!!!!!
He looks cozy in that outfit
I love how we live in a meritocracy, where power doesn’t concentrate itself into the hands of a few powerful, related individuals
Feels like arrested development
I knew it, he has 3 identical twin brothers.
No, Commissioner Gordman, from the nonfictional state of Nevada
XD I love that that is now an out of context sentence lol
Lachlan the guy from fortnite
“The non-fictional state of Nevada” sure bud
Yet another problem in the US that can be traced back to something Reagan did.
imagine fox news starts reporting on this
This was not the Rupert Murdoch news I was hoping for.
commissonner gordman. a mix of james gordon from batman and saul goodman from breaking bad😂
“From the non-fictional state of Nevada” got a chuckle out of me that I didn’t expect 😂
A UK newspaper called it a real life Succession
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! 🎄❤️✝️

ST JOHN 3:16! ❤

Close enough, welcome back medieval dynastic power struggles
Free Speech is both a human right and a civil right.
I hope they have some investor conventions coming up
No way Nevada's not fictional
I thought that 20th century Fox was related to Fox News when I was a little kid but then I was “corrected.” You’re telling me I WAS RIGHT?!
he can give the company to whoever he wants. its his company. no matter how bad a parent he is
