Why Murdoch's succession case could be major blow to his rightwing legacy
Briefly

The court ruling regarding Rupert Murdoch's family trust indicated that the attempt to ensure Lachlan's control was deemed a charade, highlighting issues of power rather than wealth.
Murdoch's failure to secure Lachlan as his successor raises concerns that a different political direction might be taken by his more liberal children, jeopardizing the conservative empire.
If the family media assets are not run by a singular authority, they risk becoming directionless, causing significant disruptions in the strategy and focus of outlets like Fox News.
The internal conflict among the Murdoch siblings could lead to a fracture in what has been a powerful conservative media empire, presenting enormous challenges to its legacy.
