The mind of Lachlan:

As someone with Irish heritage, Iâm sure I have some Aussie relatives I havenât tracked down yet. My grandfather joined the British Army out of sheer desperation, but when his service ended and he returned home, he had to flee to America, because the IRA viewed him as a traitor and were looking for him.

He and brother Lachlan forced Ailes out when they learned he was a sex assaulter. Dadâs on a long honeymoon and wants to keep it that way.

He doesnât like it. Youâre confusing him with Lachlan.

No comment! Letâs see where this goes if anywhere. Spent the last few nights rewatching the Showtime story on Roger Ailes with Russell Crowe in the fat suit. If you havenât seen it it is very worthwhile.

His sister Liz isnât a horrible person in my dated experience. I went to school with her. Her later corporate track record suggests sheâs more like James (as does her past in school).
It may be when the old man dies changes will happen as impressionistically Lachlan is the only one thatâs full out rabid like the father.

Wondering if he was applying any sort of brakes to the crazy train during his tenure and if things are going to get even worse just in time for election season.

In a joint statement, his father Rupert Murdoch and brother Lachlan said, âWeâre grateful to James for his many years of service to the company. We wish him the very best in his future endeavors.â
Seems rather cold in regards to a family member. Boxing Day must be a hoot at the Murdoch compound.

Descendent of deported Irish convicts. My ancestor was involved in protests and a small but significant rebellion. He was convicted of sedition and after hard labour in Bermuda, South Africa rejecting more convicts, ended up in Australia. The Murdochs - I canât think of anything polite to say.

You know weâre all aboard the Trump Train to Crazytown?

If you look at the history of, say, the Rum Corps, it may seem like there were periods during which the transported convicts were more honorable than those who guarded them.
And their descendants in todayâs Australia are friendly and generally law-abiding. So much for the theories of an inherently âcriminal classââŠ
⊠well, excepting maybe la famiglia Trump.

Well, to be fair we have tended to chase people like Murdoch out. Pity he landed in the States, but see my quote at the start of this subthread⊠

Iâve always thought that the Kevin Kline, âRod McCainâ character in âFierce Creaturesâ was a send up of Rupert Murdoch.
