in the actual trial to explain, defend, or perhaps confess to why they aired live in many ways that led to or softened the ground for an insurrection. that is why this is a media story, but far more than a media story. the evidence has shown many knew trump was lying tatting election, but they, quote, endorsed it any way, and that word comes from murdoch himself. the reason this is in court is not because of the january 6th committee or congress or media matters, which is a fox kind of critic group. the reason is that somebody says they were legally hurt and defamed by fox, specifically one of the voting machine companies you may have heard of, dominion. today, damning new evidence as the case heats up. more emails show the internal fox news fact checking department they have one of those that is supposed to provide guardrails it fact-checked in advance and alerted some of the claims about that plaintiff, the voting machine company dominion, were just false. and then th

who was going to succeed rupert murdoch? lachlan, elizabeth, and james all have their own places in the murdoch empire. lachlan is the one who is closest to the seat of power. but he finds himself in the middle of this shark tank. he chastises roger ailes. rupert completely sides with ailes. elizabeth, as a programmer, has something close to rupert murdoch s own eye for the new and the fresh, but she s never going to get the top job with her father. she decides she has to get out. she sends him a fax. they re supposed to have an heir and a spare. james is the spare. but james proves himself to be as good as his father at putting profit before principle. and it s very successful . james murdoch is now at the top of the company, is almost certain to succeed his father, and he s doing tremendously. he goes from a junior member of the family to a successful executive at newscorp, to the ceo of sky, to now being in charge of news international, their global division.
