Rupert Murdoch's Succession Plan Thwarted by Court Ruling

A Nevada commissioner has ruled against Rupert Murdoch's attempt to alter his family trust to ensure his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, would control the family's media empire. This decision means the empire will be equally divided among Murdoch's four oldest children, who have differing ideological views. The ruling follows a closed-door trial where Murdoch and Lachlan were found to have acted in "bad faith." Rupert Murdoch plans to appeal the decision.
