Rupert Murdoch

Fox Corporation is facing a bigger $2.7 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic after broadcasting 2020 election conspiracy theories.

Over decades, Rupert Murdoch created a multibillion-dollar media empire that, in turn, changed journalism for better and for worse.

"While we're at it, how about getting rid of 'Democrat' Mitch McConnell," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"I am writing to let you all know that I have decided to transition to the role of Chairman Emeritus at Fox and News," Rupert Murdoch announced on Thursday.

The longtime media mogul is putting his son, Lachlan, in charge of Fox and News Corp.

Rupert Murdoch will step down from his roles as chairman of Fox and News Corp and will cede the sole leadership of the companies to his son, Lachlan.

Rupert Murdoch's eldest son has been named his successor as the chairman of the Fox Corporation board and the News Corporation board.

After Murdoch said he is stepping down as chairman of Fox Corp. and News Corp., Trump supporters welcomed the news on social media.

Murdoch has stepped down as chairman of Fox Corp and News Corp and left his son Lachlan Murdoch as sole chairman of News Corp, among other roles.

His son Lachlan will become chairman of Fox Corp. and News Corp., Murdoch told employees in a letter.

Fox News announced Rupert Murdoch is transitioning away from his role as chairman of the parent company.

New York City's pension funds and the state of Oregon are the latest to sue Fox News over the broadcasting of falsehoods about the 2020 election.

The media mogul has been married four times and split with 66-year-old fiancée Ann Lesley Smith, a former dental hygienist, model and radio host, in April.

Newsweek's "The Royal Report" podcast has discussed the impact of Harry's legal setback in July in his phone-hacking case against a British tabloid publisher.

Harry previously berated a Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid for having "the gall" to argue his lawsuit was filed too late—but a judge sided with The Sun.

Prince Harry's claim that 'The Sun' hacked his phone has been thrown out but he can take other allegations of illegal practices to trial, a judge ruled.

Billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch has reportedly soured on both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, the leading candidates for the GOP presidential nomination.

The three men, who worked for Murdoch and Fox Broadcasting Company in the 1990s, said the news channel had become a "disinformation machine."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's "constant and intentional headline-grabbing" is keeping them in the British press, a PR expert told Newsweek.

Kate said she was "very proud to support" campaign launched by Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid, The Sun, who Harry has accused of historic phone hacking.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's silence-breaking tweet has received more than 80 million views.

Alex Jones had previously said Tucker Carlson left Fox News after giving the network an ultimatum on the freedoms he is allowed on his show.

In his tabloid lawsuit 31-page witness statement, Harry drags up an embarrassing incident from Charles and Camilla's past, Newsweek's "The Royal Report" hears.

Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey "how scared" the royal family is "of the tabloids turning on them" but did not mention a major saga in British media history.

Tucker Carlson was the network's most popular figure. He spoke out Wednesday for the first time since the split.

Prince Harry said his brother took money to go "quietly" though court filings also tell another story of Prince William's role in the phone hacking saga.

"I spent most of my life being part of the problem," Carlson said last month on a podcast.

Harry said the full truth "would have infuriated me" in testimony that echoes his wider dispute with his family over Meghan Markle and the media.

Prince Harry said his brother was paid a "very large sum of money" in an out-of-court deal with the publisher of "The Sun" and now-defunct "News of the World."

Carlson's abrupt departure from Fox News on Monday is reported to have been a direct call from chairman Murdoch.
