Rupert and son Lachlan represent the right wing arm of the family, and the ownership of the media properties mean Rupert (with 50%) only needs one of the six children (owning the remaining 50% in equal shares) to support his plans to wield power.
James and his wife Kathryn are more centrist and have contributed to @PeteButtigieg and @JoeBiden âs campaigns.

Unsurprisingly the split between James & his father and brother Lachlan has been coming for a while.
Indeed Fox itself has been schizophrenic re Trumpâs position with Newscasters rebutting claims of electoral fraud, whilst Hannity has continued to fuel baseless conspiracy theory
