    They should have their citizenship revoked.
  • @rubenavalos5455
    The kids are afraid of getting broke he keeps getting sued for spreading lies
  • @jamesricker3997
    The fact that Rupert Murdoch is so concerned about this is an indication that he does not believe he is not going to be around much longer
  • Madhouse run by a mad man and now his firstborn spawn, no surprise here.
  • So, losing $700+M for spewing lies wasn't a reason to question their abilities to run the company? Hunh..
  • The worst thing to happen to America is Rupert Murdoch being born.
  • @cherylrleigh1912
    Kudos to Murdoch's second wife, Anna Murdoch Mann (1967-1999), and his third wife, Wendi Deng (1999-2013), for skillfully negotiating their divorce settlements to safeguard their children. That said, this should serve as a cautionary tale: an irrevocable trust can indeed be revocable if it includes a provision allowing for amendments, provided they are made in good faith.
  • @HKim0072
    Who cares about that? News shows should skip the gossip part and explain to the viewers how much US taxes the trust will dodge.
  • @epicwolf
    Are one of his kid running as the third candidate in this year's election?
  • It only matters if he is of sound mind. If he wants to change the Trust that's his choice. He sees that his other children are not interested in the business, only their own self-interests and appearing "Woke" for the look it generates for them.
