His son Lachlan Murdoch is taking over. Lachlan has been co-chair of News Corp since 2014, and a director before that. Given that Rupert is 92, I’m sure that Lachlan has already been calling the shots for a long time. This is not really a change.
Unfortunately his other son who was against his dad’s ways publicly attacked him so he’s got put aside while the smart move would have been to play his game, take over the company and change it.
I’m assuming he’s still running he company and this is just for appearances or financial reasons. There’s no way he won’t have control of what they do or say
Things always change. They just never get “perfect” because a new problem is always around the corner. Life is certainly no utopia though, nor will it be any time soon. We will not live to see the end of problems.
That’s what it seems like people are hoping for anyway, some kind of problem-free world. It is unrealistic.
I’d be happy to see a world where people don’t actively create problems for others due to greed, ignorance, or bigotry.
We got enough problems from natural disasters, disease, accidents, etc. If people could just not be dicks and not fuck each other over constantly that would be cool.

I think you are mistaken. People are upset for a lack of progress. How the pace of improvement is endlessly kneecapped.
We won’t live to see the end of our problems. But there are several problems in our lives that could be ended very, very quickly if we actually gave a damn.
While I understand there’s been some very disappointing backsliding in the past decade or so, in order to see no progress anywhere you need to cherry pick your examples to actually avoid areas of improvement.
Do you not understand how people work or something?
Nobody is saying there has been “no progress anywhere”. But they’ll still be upset when there is little progress, or backsliding, on issues that affect them or that they are passionate about.
It’s really quite condescending to waffle on about how suffering people need to look at the big picture, and how it’s unreasonable to expect their suffering to be alleviated during their lifetimes, when there really isn’t a good reason why they should be suffering as much as they are to begin with.
I was specifically responding to someone who said “things don’t change”. It sure sounded to me like “no progress anywhere”. Sorry if my response upset people, but I simply cannot agree that things don’t change.
I’m hoping things will change. Things will not change.

If you changed fox news, the people who watched fox news would go elsewhere, it wouldn’t reprogram them.
The tail wags the dog in this case. Fox is lie based propaganda because its audience demands lie based propaganda.
Is Lachlan a Kendall, a Roman, or a Connor?
I am only through season 01 so far but I cannot say there is any choice that would be good.
I won’t spoil anything but yeah, they all pretty much suck lol.
Hopefully a Greg.
‘I love you but you are not a serious people.’
Is that Kendall or Roman?

I think we should start referring to these people by their titles. Chairman Murdoch

Despair is the enemy of progress.

The actual message was:
Yeah I think people are upset because you are attacking positions nobody is taking, and disparaging progressives in the same breath.
