The way the headline started out and was phrased, I thought he died.
You can imagine my disappointment.
Asshole is 92 years old, how is he still alive?
Only the Good die young.

Henry Kissinger is apparently still alive, at age 100. There is no god.
Money is the fountain of youth in this country. Can you imagine if the US had universal Heathcare like every other developed nation in the world? The Proles might live as long as the elites and we can’t have that now, can we?
I mean, the snark is absolutely warranted but for anyone who’s not clear - yeah. That’s the whole idea. Poor people die working cheaply, then the next crop who don’t know shit yet get promoted and continue happily working for cheap. Capitalism is inherently built to fail in just this way. It’s better than some alternatives, i.e. monarchy, but the end stages are just - this - over and over. No healthcare, more guns.
Heaps and heaps of money, and possibly deals with evil supernatural creatures.
The evil acts of spreading lies to destroy our democracy keeps him unnaturally alive.
Murdoch is a wicked man.
Being rich means never being stressed or working and having access to medical care that keeps you alive like a blood sucking vampire.
He literally has blood infusions from healthier young men. Literal vampire.
Well Henry Kissinger is gonna die this week, so hopefully he’s next on the chopping block
“All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.”- Clarence Darrow
I actually read that he dropped dead… it’s more than time
Good riddance, and get fucked. I assume his children are no better.
He is leaving the company to Lachlan, who is pure trash just like the walking corpse. James publicly appears a little better than his family, but I still wouldn’t trust him:
“In 2020 Murdoch resigned from the board of News Corp, stating that it was “due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company’s news outlets and certain other strategic decisions.” He later accused News Corp of spreading “disinformation” through such properties as Fox News.”
He accused News Corp, I’d love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation!
James and his family seem nice enough in person. Sure they are filthy rich and can give off a why-is-the-plumber-telling-me-all-this-just-make-my-shit-go-away vibe, but they’re polite and patient enough to listen to a plumber talk about pipe diameters, P traps, and Zoeller vs Wayne septic pumps, if they ever end up in that kind of situation.
I don’t think he gets to just leave it to Lachlan, there’s going to be a fight and Lachlan is actually in the minority in terms of the Murdoch children.
I was so excited when his name was the first two words of a headline. Alas…
He wouldn’t be stepping down if his health was great
Okay but he’s one of those people that I feel morally obligated to outlive and for some reason they just keep going forever like diesel motors. I’ve had a bottle of sparkling wine with “Kissinger” written on it in the fridge so long that I eventually got a mini fridge off some college kid free on marketplace just for it and a couple other bottles of spite booze
I wonder which comic book villain will replace him
Someone get Elon Musk and/or Donald Trump to run Fox News! I had heard they were ‘stable genius’-es and have a track record of not running businesses into the ground!
Rename it X-News.
Edit: oh god, I see this as an app within the superapp or whatever it’s called. Uggg
His son, from what I’ve read.
Why don’t he step down off a cliff?
Kendall Roy can finally turn Fox News into the Hip Hop News Network.
His son is worse…
Sounds like Rupy is trying to dodge lawsuits somehow
They sold to GoJo
