— the mass media company his father, Rupert Murdoch, founded in 1980 that is now sister companies with Fox Corporation — Murdoch is looking to be a force of good in the world, helping to combat the disinformation that many of News Corps’ outlets are often accused of proliferating. In a lengthy sit-down interview with columnist Maureen Dowd for the, Murdoch discussed his departure from the family business, the Trump administration and why he doesn’t watch “Succession.
Murdoch revealed that he and his father have been “arguing about politics since [he] was a teenager,” and as Donald Trump took office, he grew increasingly uncomfortable with News Corp’s decisions. “The idea, at my age, with a long career ahead of me, of going into a place where it’s a big corporate structure.

Et cetera.
