Lachlan Murdoch to Take Control of Fox in November, Seen as Ideologically Aligned with Father Rupert
-
Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert's son, will take full control of Fox in November. He is seen as just as conservative as his father.
-
Lachlan has donated more to Republicans but also gave some money to a Democrat. He has defended Fox News programming post-2020 election.
-
Lachlan grew up immersed in the family business, working summer jobs for Murdoch papers. He briefly left in 2005 but returned in 2014.
-
Fox still faces lawsuits over 2020 election claims. Lachlan has delegated daily oversight to executives but weighed in on Trump rally coverage.
-
Rupert says he'll still be involved as chairman emeritus. Some are skeptical he'll fully step back.
