A Nevada director emphatically rejected Mr. Murdoch, who was attempting to lock in Fox News’s right-wing newspaper slant and give his son Tom total control of his kingdom. According to a closed court document obtained by The New York Times, a commissioner from Nevada unanimously rejected Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to change his mother’s trust in order to secure Fox News ‘ right-wing newspaper angle. The inspector, Edmund J. Gorman Jr., concluded in a choice filed on Saturday that the father and son, who is the mind of Fox News and News Corp., had acted in “bad faith” in their efforts to alter the irrevocable faith, which divides control of the company evenly among Mr. Murdoch’s four oldest children — Lachlan, James, Elisabeth and Prudence — after his death. The decision was at times withering. At one point in his 96-page mind, Mr. Gorman characterizes the strategy to change the faith as a” carefully crafted farce” to “permanently concrete Lachlan Murdoch’s professional roles” inside the kingdom “regardless of the impacts such power would have over the companies or the beneficiaries” of the household trust. A prosecutor for Mr. Murdoch, Adam Streisand, said Mr. Murdoch and Lachlan were disappointed with the decision and intended to appeal. James, Elisabeth, and Prudence stated in a statement that they “welcome Commissioner Gorman’s judgement and trust that we can move beyond this dispute to concentrate on strengthening and rebuilding relationships among all household members.” ImageLachlan Murdoch in September.
