Fox News heir sinking in the 'mire' in explosive Fox defamation suit

Fox News heir Lachlan Murdoch is facing one of his biggest media challenges to date deep in "the mire" of the operation's admitted lies about a "rigged" election revealed in the scathing Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit, a biographer warned Saturday.


“This is an incredible signal moment for him, and his fingerprints are not absent here — he is part of this," journalist and author David Folkenflik told The Guardian in an article Saturday.

"Everything we’ve seen from Lachlan so far suggests that he was very front-of-mind worried about appeasing and serving their audiences," added Folkenflik, media correspondent for National Public Radio and author of "Murdoch's World: The Last of the Old Media Empires." It was "business first, then politics and political influence, then the ideological agenda, and only then came journalism, which looks like a distant fifth right now," he noted.

It's far from clear if Lachlan has the savvy and bold obstinance of dad Rupert Murdoch to survive it — and what that could ultimately mean for Fox.

Remember Roger Ailes keeled over soon after his Gretchen Carlson sexual harassment scandal broke.
