Why did Rupert Murdoch's eldest son, Lachlan resigned several years ago?

They need to question him.

They also need to interview Murdoch competitors about was has happened in the past.

1. Chafed at Rupert's meddling

Another minor factor in Lachlan's departure, said family friends who are close to both Lachlan and his father, was the shifting family dynamics and the question of how the elder Mr. Murdoch's two youngest children with his third wife, Wendi Deng, would be treated under family trusts that control the company.

2. "Mr. Murdoch...is a notoriously demanding and hands-on manager

who built the $24-billion-a-year company from two small newspapers he inherited in Adelaide, Australia, four decades ago."

So why is he sitting here whining about how he didn't know what was going on?

3. Because ...

1. ... he has to. Otherwise he's going to prison (and I hope he does anyway).

2. ... he's 83, and can pretend he's early Alzheimer's (or something).
