Murdoch family settles court fight over media empire's future
Rupert Murdoch's family has reached a deal that guarantees eldest son Lachlan will retain control of his father's media empire after the elderly patriarch's death.
James, Elisabeth and Prudence will each receive more than $US1 billion ($1.52 billion) for their shares in the companies, The New York Times reported, citing an anonymous source with knowledge of the negotiations.
Fox said the three siblings would also be prevented from ever buying back into the companies.
This man has done an absolutely astonishing amount of damage to Australian democracy.

He has also damaged democracy in the United Kingdom and the United States. For decades, his medias have promoted climate change denialism, anti-union propaganda, and the most astonishing lies.
I still remember the headline of The Sun right before the UK referendum on European Union membership:
He is nothing less than a vicious criminal:

Shame on Australia for producing such a piece of shit.
He wouldn't have the power he has today without ordinary Australians using his medias as a source of information.
