Rupert Murdoch's audacious bid to cement his eldest son's control over one of the world's most influential media empires has failed, a US report said Monday.

Murdoch's Succession Plan for Eldest Son Blocked in Court

Rupert Murdoch's audacious bid to cement his eldest son's control over one of the world's most influential media empires has failed, a US report said Monday.

Rupert Murdoch's audacious bid to cement his eldest son's control over one of the world's most influential media empires has failed, a US report said Monday.
The first family of news -- commanding a stable that includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and a host of British and Australian media -- had been the inspiration for the hit TV series "Succession."
Like the fictional version, this real-life fight pitted the children of a powerful patriarch against each other for who should be the face and the voice of the empire after the old man dies.
Murdoch, now 93, had long intended that his children inherit the empire, and jointly decide its direction.
The eldest daughter, Prudence, has had little involvement in the family business, but at various times the other three -- Lachlan, James and Elisabeth -- have all been considered as successors.
But in recent years Murdoch senior had reportedly grown concerned that Fox News -- the crown jewels of the collection -- might drift away from its lucrative right-wing moorings after his death, to reflect the more centrist views of James and Elisabeth.
He had therefore sought to designate Lachlan -- who currently heads Fox News and News Corp -- as the controlling player in the wider business.
That had required rewriting the terms of an irrevocable trust that passed power to the four siblings jointly, stripping three of them of voting power, while allowing them to continue to benefit financially.
Rupert Murdoch had argued that giving control to Lachlan -- who is understood to share his father's worldview -- was in the financial interests of the whole brood.
&nbsp;
- 'Carefully crafted charade' - &nbsp;
The family intrigue played out behind closed doors in a Nevada courtroom, where Murdoch senior and his four children were understood to have given several days' evidence in September.
In a decision filed at the weekend, probate commissioner Edmund J. Gorman Jr. said the father and son had acted in "bad faith" in trying to rewrite the rules, The New York Times reported, citing a copy of the sealed court document.
The plan to alter the trust's structure was a "carefully crafted charade" to "permanently cement Lachlan Murdoch's executive roles."
"The effort was an attempt to stack the deck in Lachlan Murdoch's favor after Rupert Murdoch's passing so that his succession would be immutable," the Times cited the ruling as saying.
"The play might have worked; but an evidentiary hearing, like a showdown in a game of poker, is where gamesmanship collides with the facts and at its conclusion, all the bluffs are called and the cards lie face up.
"The court, after considering the facts of this case in the light of the law, sees the cards for what they are and concludes this raw deal will not, over the signature of this probate commissioner, prevail."
Murdoch's lawyer, Adam Streisand, did not immediately reply to an AFP request for comment.
The ruling is not final, and must now be ratified or rejected by a district judge. That ruling could be challenged, perhaps provoking another round of legal arguments.
The complicated structure of the irrevocable trust reflects the colourful familial relationships that shaped Rupert Murdoch's life as he built the multibillion-dollar empire.
The trust was reported to have been the result of a deal agreed with his second wife -- mother of Lachlan, Elisabeth and James -- who wanted to ensure her offspring would not be disenfranchised by children Murdoch had with his third wife, Wendi Deng.
The Murdoch empire has transformed tabloid newspapers, cable TV and satellite broadcasting over the last few decades while facing accusations of stoking populism across the English-speaking world.
Brexit in Britain and the rise of Donald Trump in the United States are credited at least partly to Murdoch and his outlets.

 Murdoch was most recently married to model and actor Jerry Hall. They were wed in 2016 and divorced in 2022.

&nbsp;Media magnate Rupert Murdoch, 93, has married for the fifth time, his corporation, News Corp, confirmed Sunday.
Murdoch and Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old Russian-born retired molecular biologist, wed Saturday in a ceremony at his vineyard estate in Bel Air, California. Photographs of the newly married couple were released by News Corp. The couple announced their engagement in March.
Murdoch was most recently married to model and actor Jerry Hall. They were wed in 2016 and divorced in 2022.
Zhukova is the ex-wife of Alexander Zhukov, a billionaire energy investor and Russian politician. Their daughter, Dasha, was previously married to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who used to own the Premier League soccer club Chelsea.
Last fall, Murdoch stepped down as leader of both Fox News' parent company and his News Corp media holdings. His son, Lachlan, took his place in a media empire that spans continents and helped to shape modern American politics.
In 1952, Murdoch inherited a newspaper in his native Australia from his father. Over decades, he built a news and entertainment enterprise that became prominent in the United States and Britain, including ownership of such notable newspapers as The Times of London and The Wall Street Journal.
Fox News Channel, the 24-hour network founded in 1996, has profoundly influenced television, becoming a popular news source among many conservative US audiences and politicians.

Rupert Murdoch is set to remarry at the age of 92. The media baron has already been married four times.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is ready to marry again at age 92. The former Fox News chairperson will wed 67-year-old Elena Zhukova, marking the fifth time he has gotten married.
Murdoch last made headlines last year when he announced his engagement with radio host Ann Lesley Smith, a nuptial that was called off within days. New York Times reported that Murdoch&rsquo;s next marriage is scheduled for June at his California vineyard and estate.
Murdoch has previously been married to flight attendant Patricia Booker, journalist Anna Torv, businesswoman Wendi Deng and model Jerry Hall. Murdoch has a total of six children.
Murdoch stepped down as leader of both Fox's parent company and his News Corp media holdings in September last year. He handed over the business to his son Lachlan.
He built his empire from a single newspaper in Adelaide, Australia, after inheriting it from his father and became a multi-billionaire. Forbes estimated the Murdoch family's net worth is at roughly $19 billion in 2020.
News Corp owns the Times, Sunday Times and Sun newspapers, but News of the World closed and Murdoch sold his 40% stake in Sky when he failed to get complete control of the company.

Besides Fox News, Murdoch started the Fox broadcast network, the first to successfully challenge the Big Three of ABC, CBS and NBC, with shows like &ldquo;The Simpsons.&rdquo; He is also the owner of The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.
Fox News Channel has profoundly influenced television and the nation&rsquo;s politics since its start in 1996, making Murdoch a hero to some and a pariah to others, news agency Associated Press reported.
The 24-hour network converted the power and energy of political talk radio to television. Within six years, it outrated CNN and MSNBC.

&ldquo;In my new role, I can guarantee you that I will be involved every day in the contest of ideas, Murdoch wrote. &ldquo;Our companies are communities, and I will be an active member of our community. I will be watching our broadcasts with a critical eye, reading our newspapers and websites and books with much interest.&rdquo;
