HelixDab2@lemm.ee 4 days agoGood news on that front. Have you been following the news about the Murdoch empire and the irrevocable trust Rupert set up?

I read a bit about it days ago but it’s too much to hope that anything good will come of it… Unless there’s more recent news?

Essentially, the last ruling–which will surely be appealed–is that the irrevocable trust is irrevocable. That means that Rupert’s empire, when he dies, will be controlled jointly by all of his children that are part of the trust. And the children that are part of the trust skew strongly left/center left, except for the son that Rupert was trying to transfer all of the control to. So when Murdoch dies, it’s highly likely that Fox will very quickly change course because it’s no longer going to be controlled by someone that’s as conservative as a Nazi.

Good news but he could last for years and I really can’t see Trump allowing it, assuming he’s still dicktatortot
