I’m hoping things will change. Things will not change.
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.
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
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
Despair is the enemy of progress.
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.
I blane clickbait media and its doomerism.
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.

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.

Can he step down into a wood chipper next?
I’ve got a special helicopter pilot appointed!
I’m waiting on him to step down from this plane of existence.
Upsettingly, he and Kissinger seem to be eternal
Gotta be a shitty person to become a Lich
True. He must be stepping down to become a Demilich
Despite the name, a demilich was not a lesser lich, but rather a lich who had evolved beyond a need for its undead body.
Kissinger is 100. He can’t last that much longer… can he?
Maybe it is all the Cambodian children he eats that gives him eternal life.
Even if he does, it doesn’t really matter. He already caused immeasurable damage to the world, destroyed who-knows-how-many lives and got to live well into his 90s in unimaginable opulence.
Plus he’s stepping down on his own terms, nobody ousted him. None of his enemies ever managed to take him down, and he’s got his legacy all set up. When he does eventually die, it’ll most likely be in a comfortable hospital bed surrounded by some the best doctors in the world making sure it goes as well as it possibly can.
He dedicated his entire life to being an evil bastard and he completely, utterly won. I don’t think there’s anything much that could even hurt him at this point.
That’s fucking depressing
Why do the evil always live long lives? Is it because they’re pickled in poisonous thoughts?
I’m not sure you could point to any other single person who has had a more damaging impact to the country than this piece of crap. In any case, it will probably get worse.
Pretty sure it’s countries, at this point.
What a blight on humanity.
His son is also a giant piece of shit but that is not exactly surprising.
Which son? James doesn’t seem too bad.
It’s Lachlan. He’s at least as bad as the old man.
Oof yeah that’s still bad then.
I saw his name and was looking forward to reading an obituary. Unfortunately he’s still going to be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
I have a hard time thinking of someone who has done as much damage to democracy, truth and decency worldwide as Murdoch. He’s a truly deplorable person. May he fade away and no longer darken our futures.

Hopefully he steps in front of a bus next.
“Rupert Murdoch created all of this and so much more across America and the globe,” Hemmer said. “His life’s work has left an indelible imprint on the global media landscape. His contributions are both innumerable and extraordinary and we thank him for letting us be a part of it all.”
- anchor Dana Perino
I love how nothing in this paragraph says that he was a good person, good leader, or contributed anything beneficial to anybody, ever.
Name a bigger piece of shit, I will wait
This is one of the most dangerous men to ever live.
Let me know when he steps down from being alive.
I’ve seen this episode of Succession
