I find myself wondering that fairly frequently. How old is he? Well, he won't be around forever.

rupert murdoch is rawther elderly. He won't be around too much longer, in any event. He has kids. I find myself wondering what kind of fighting might result over the will. Does that suggest the empire might split up? Will one heir take over complete control of all of it? He's got to have made plans. Too shrewd not to. But you never know. My fantasy, of course, is one of his heirs does a hostile takeover of News Corp, and - what if that heir was more liberal in his/her politics? Maybe wanting to dick around with Pox Noise's format or slant or whatever? Or maybe they're not quite as savvy in business and they fuck it all up and lose it all? I'm sure the koch brothers or adelson or somebody would want to buy it and keep it intact and that level of fiend certainly has enough money for it.

But one can certainly dream, can't one?
