By Christine Zosche 

Since March, Lachlan Murdoch has been running Fox Corp. from 10,500 miles away in Australia. According to a source close to the family, Lachlan’s younger brother, James, the once heir apparent, “is running a whisper campaign that Lachlan is not good at his job and that he doesn’t deserve it.” (Business Insider)

Business Insider adds that Lachlan is “eager to prove critics wrong,” and paints a picture of a corporate leader whose “schedule includes an 8 p.m. bedtime so he can wake in the middle of the evening for midnight Zooms and conference calls.” (Mediaite)
