CNN's Kat Kinsman says Rupert Murdoch is a very crafty person. "He ultimately comes out on top every time," she said, but he may have run through his tricks in this case. The former Wall Street Journal editor was always amazed by how hands-on the media magnate could be. He doesn't dictate demand so much as suggests and apply through his observations, according to those who worked for him.
Today, after Kara and Nayeema discuss what the Dominion defamation lawsuit might mean for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, we turn to a fictional media story of Logan Roy and HBO’s Succession. Our guests are Brian Cox, series creator Jesse Armstrong and director Mark Mylod. SPOILER ALERT: there are lots of spoilers in this episode, starting at about 10 mins in so go watch the show first.
