James Murdoch, the son of Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, says he walked away from family media empire because it legitimizes disinformation and obscures facts

Sunday, 11 October 2020, 14:57:54
Summary List Placement James Murdoch, the son of Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, said he left his father’s media empire because it obscured facts and legitimized disinformation. In an interview with the New York Times, Murdoch for the first time discussed the reasons for his decision to depart the board of News Corp, the media company owned by his father, which controls publications including The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, as well as several publications in Rupert Murdoch’s native Australia. His father’s other company, Fox Corp, runs the Fox News network, which is run by his brother, Lachlan Murdoch. “I reached the conclusion that you can venerate a contest of ideas, if you will, and we all do and that’s important,” Murdoch said in the interview . “But it shouldn’t be in a way that hides agendas. A contest of ideas shouldn’t be used to legitimize disinformation. And I think it’s often taken advantage of. And I think at great news organizations, the mission really should be to introduce fact to disperse doubt — not to sow doubt, to obscure fact, if you will.” News Corp did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Murdoch’s remarks.
