How bad will Ruppert Murdoch's spawn be when the old man kicks off?
Some families see their successive generations do increasingly common works of good. For other families, it is the diametrical opposite.

Sam Walton wasn't a bad man. His spawn were horrible.

History records little evil surrounding Sam Bush and his wife Flora Sheldon Bush. But their son, Prescott, traded to his personal betterment with enemies of our country. Pressy's son is rumored to have been present at a famous assassination, we know became CIA chief, and later president. We all still know and love him for his accomplishments, of course. Then there's his son, a failed businessman, sociopath, convicted drunk driver, also former president who managed to fail the country so badly we're still paying for it.

Joe Kennedy, on the other hand, was a gangster who saw his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren go on to greatness and lives of service.

So . . . when Ruppert kicks, will his spawn be as evil as he is?

1. It'll depend on how intact his assets are when he leaves them to his sons.
Not looking too good right now, but time will tell.

2. I think they're either disposed to Dad's ways or not. The state of the empire only serves to frame..
.... the degree to which they follow their disposition.
