Lachlan Murdoch's Attempt to Consolidate Power
Lachlan Murdoch's attempt to consolidate power is evident in his semi-retirement move, aiming to anoint his son Lachlan as the heir apparent. The goal is to make it harder for other adult children to overrule or intervene in the future. While Fox News has faced the departure of star hosts in the past, Tucker Carlson's firing created shockwaves due to the magnitude and impact on ratings. However, Fox News remained bigger than any individual star. The question remains whether Lachlan's vision will reshape the network towards the center or if the network will continue with its fringy and radical elements.
