The Last Test For Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp Is About Character

Rupert Murdoch, the Australian-born conservative news titan, announced his retirement from News Corp., the parent company of Fox, Fox News and countless other media properties across the Anglosphere, on Thursday. He named his son Lachlan Murdoch, currently the executive chair and CEO of Fox Corporation, to take his place as chairman of the umbrella company.

Murdoch’s departure, at the age of 92, comes as his most prized media property ― Fox News ― faces an uncertain future due to the legal fallout from its promotion of former President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. Part of the uncertain future facing Fox News, and News Corp. more broadly, could come down to one issue: character.

In April, Fox News reached a $787 million settlement with the vote machine manufacturer Dominion Voting Systems after the company’s news personalities flogged falsehoods on-air that the company’s machines were somehow corrupted. The settlement prevented Murdoch from having to take the stand in a trial. The cable news broadcaster faces another defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic, also a voting machine company, for promoting similar falsehoods. Smartmatic is seeking $2.7 billion in damages.

In addition to these levied and looming financial losses, Fox News’ promotion of Trump’s lies could also cost the Murdochs the broadcasting licenses issued by the Federal Communication Commission for its local broadcast network affiliates.
