James and Lachlan Murdoch in First Interview Atop Fox (Canny Businessmen or Rich Beta Males?)

It's Oct. 8, a scorching hot afternoon on the Fox Studios lot in Los Angeles, and it's been less than 24 hours since Rupert Murdoch made news by tweeting about Republican presidental candidate Ben Carson: "What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else." The comment is being dissected, interpreted and mocked on television and online, just like nearly every move made by the legendary 84-year-old media mogul. But perhaps no Murdoch machination has been more analyzed than his plan to elevate his family members to succeed him atop 21st Century Fox, the television and film behemoth that includes the Fox network; cable channels Fox News, FX and Nat Geo; Fox Sports; a share of the Sky pay TV services throughout Europe; and thriving film and TV studios here in L.A.

That family drama came to a head in June when Murdoch announced that James Murdoch, 42, the youngest of his four grown children, would become CEO of the company, and Lachlan Murdoch, 44, would become executive chairman, a title Rupert also would retain. (News Corp, the company that Murdoch built from a single Australian newspaper into a global power until he split it in 2013 after fallout from the phone-hacking scandal at his U.K. newspapers, now houses such publishing assets as The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and is managed separately, with the bro­thers on the board.) Today, on the fifth floor of Building 100 on the lot, with Fox News and Nat Geo both playing on wall-hung TVs, the next generation of Murdochs enters an executive conference room.

So what happens when they take over from Dad? Are they canny businessmen or rich beta males?

Several posts I have read here swear they are stone liberals.

They already have .. and it already shows in their programming; they hype Jeb Bush continually, and they will not allow Cruz to poll ahead of Bush; except one time, when it couldn’t be hidden (ABC’s poll). And, don’t get me started on their Trump coverage.

And .. here is a list of the “permanent” contributors .. who are all RADICAL LEFTISTS:
Kirsten Powers
Jamu Green
Julie Roginsky
Tamera Holder
Mary Ann Marsh
Jessica Ehrlich
Richard Fowler
Joe Trippi
Mark Hannah (Pretty boy)
Simon Rosenberg
Alan Colmes

And Rhino’s”
Ed Rolllins
Pat Caddell
Dick Schoen

Actually, they all use the same talking points, and to me EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS FOR ONE PURPOSE .. TO POISON THE CONVERSATION.

This is why I very rarely ever watch FOX anymore.

Two programs: Fox & Friends (weekday show), and Jon & Jenna Lee’s spots at 8 am and 10 am; in case there is something really, really important going on.

Every Night they allow Meghan Kelly to attack Trump.

Not that pointing out the flaws of any candidate is bad, however you start your show attacking Trump on a network that is suppose to be somewhat conservative

Well, things have changed. The liberal sons of Murdoch have taking over the reigns of FOX-TV, and things will never be the same.

But, what happens to your integrity when you submit yourself to another person’s political beliefs. Or, were they Megyn’s beliefs already ..?? If so, then she was lying then .. trying to pretend she was on the side of the Conservatives; or is she lying now .. in order to keep her job ..??
