Rupert Murdoch has failed in his attempt to give his eldest son control of his media empire, according to US reports. The case pitted the 93-year-old against three of his children over who would gain the power to control News Corp and Fox News when he dies. It has been reported that Murdoch wanted to amend a family trust created in 1999 to allow his son Lachlan to take control without “interference” from his siblings Prudence, Elisabeth and James. A Nevada commissioner ruled Mr Murdoch and Lachlan had acted in “bad faith” and called the efforts a “carefully crafted charade”, according to the New York Times. The conflict over the family trust is not thought to be centred around money, as Murdoch is not seeking to diminish any of his children’s financial inheritance. Instead, the move would have changed the voting power of his less conservative children and is thought to have cemented a right-wing agenda across his media empire.

No matter who wins this election, it’ll push the country one step closer to instability and its impending downfall, so don’t let these people stress you out. Grab your vice—wine, weed, whatever it may be—and clock out for the night. Tomorrow, we adapt and move forward.
