If you didn't know that media mogul Rupert Murdoch merely retired from the boards of Fox Corp. and News Corp., you might have assumed that he died. His announcement sent shockwaves across the information sphere, with a few outlets, including the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, styling its coverage as if it were a eulogy.
Also making headlines is Michael Wolff's soon-to-be-released book, "The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty," which has been described in terms that make it sound like the autopsy of a body bathed in gossip-steeped dishwater. It opens with a mock obituary.
