  • Rupert Murdoch is 93 years old. When he dies, control of News Corp — including Fox News — goes equally to his four children, James, Lachlan, Prudence and Elisabeth. In 2020, James resigned from the company in disgust at Fox airing conspiracy theories and fake news. When his father passes, he may press the board to reform the news channel, according to a new interview.

When Rupert Murdoch dies, his son James and his sisters may move to reform Fox News to prevent it from spreading false information or unfounded conspiracy theories, according to a lengthy series of interviews James Murdoch gave to McKay Coppins for The Atlantic.
