Rupert Murdoch's son Lachlan serves notice on the direction of their media empire

By Tom Boggioni
Published April 09, 2022

According to a report from the Washington Post's Sarah Ellison and Josh Dawsey, any suggestion that the son of billionaire Rupert Murdoch will rein in the far-right extremism of the family's media empire went up in a puff of smoke during a recent speech -- describes as "fiery" -- in Sydney, Australia last week.

The report notes that Lachlan Murdoch has become the heir-apparent after having stepped aside from family dealings in 2005, with the report stating, "even as he made his way back to family business, nearly a decade later, and rose again through the ranks, the image remained of a passive Gen-Xer who kept his politics quiet and his ambitions subservient to those of the swaggering conservative billionaire dad who aspired to influence power at the highest global levels."

That image can now be set aside the WaPo noting his speech "could have fit in seamlessly with the lineup of right-wing commentary served up every night by Fox News’s prime time opinion hosts."

A friend lived in the same blocks and knew her to say "hello" to. She was said to be a good neighbor. Jerry Ford pardoned her in 1977.
