Disagreement over direction of editorials.

[LonePirate]

1. Instead of working to change the direction, he simply quits.

[2naSalit]

3. Maybe he already tried to change the direction and was

rejected.

But honestly, I don't really care all that much.

[LonePirate]

6. That is also possible. He clearly didn't care enough to stick around and fight for changes.

[magicarpet]

2. Will he remain gainfully employed in some capacity and collecting a huge salary ?

[FM123]

4. Interesting.

Rupert Murdoch’s son James and his wife Kathryn recently dropped more than $2 million to help elect Biden and Democrats, I wonder if one has to do with the other.....

[BComplex]

5. No kidding? They were Biden supporters?

No wonder! They probably couldn't bear the stench any longer.

[FM123]

7. Yes. James hates trump openly.

His brother Lachlan only tolerates him - wonder what will happen to Fux News and their fluffing of trump when daddy Rupert who is almost 90, passes?

[onetexan]

10. exactly. My guess is it just got too toxic & can't be saved so he bailed to help other causes.

[SheltieLover]

8. Weoo then

Perhaps he will start q new factual news source?

9. Oh good. Season 3 of "Succession"

✅ HBO

[Dream Girl]

11. My thought exactly. Session 3 begins in August.

Is he Roman or the other one?

[underpants]

15. Watching "Umbrella Academy" now.

This is really good. Season 2.

[LeftishBrit]

12. Interesting

I think James is to the left of his father; and maybe this is finally boiling over.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. Things aren't as simple as they used to be.

If you go looking for him in the Fox Corporation proxy statement, you won't find him.

14. James is the Murdoch married to an ex-Clinton staffer.

He wanted control of Fox News but Rupert refused because James doesn't share his politics. James is more centrist, I guess.
