Ari Melber on Fox News’ Real Life ‘Succession’ Saga: ‘Stunning Case of Art Imitating Life’
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
MELBER: “So the Murdochs are not fighting over money, even though the empire has made a lot of money. And they’re not fighting to get into the Trump cabinet. They’re fighting for the system that exists kind of above that, that can afford to pay out $780 million and keep on going, that can afford to stack the bench of the modern Republican Party and the Trump movement, that can install people who then become their supposed overseers in government. For now, Murdoch and his other son Lachlan are going to appeal this decision, they say, and they could still prevail. But it is a stunning case of art imitating life, and now imitating art and the succession battle continuing to unfold, it might be different from what Murdoch originally saw as his legacy."
