Murdoch Goes Mellow

[britwrit]

Interesting story in the Times this morning. It seems that Rupert Murdoch's two sons - James and Lachlan - are shaking up the business a little as they ease into control.

One of the more telling quotes...

Employees at the Fox broadcast network said they were pleasantly surprised, for instance, to be summoned to a town-hall meeting — something that had rarely if ever been done under the archly conservative Rupert Murdoch — where the brothers espoused transparency, workplace diversity and greater cooperation between divisions. In the fall, James and Lachlan introduced additional benefits, including more paid vacation, vastly enhanced reproductive coverage for women and “expanded coverage for our transgender colleagues.”

Glenn Beck and Christopher Ruddy are smiling all the way to the bank. You know if FOX goes squishy, they'll cash in.
