reno - Australian media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has lost a legal battle with his own children over the succession of his companies. His plan to give equal power to all of his children has been challenged, leading to a family feud.

Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, at the age of 93, has expressed disappointment after losing a legal dispute with his children regarding the succession of his business empire. His lawyer stated that Murdoch intends to appeal the decision. Initially, Murdoch had planned to grant equal power to his four eldest children in his media empire, but he had a change of heart in recent years. He appointed Lachlan as the chairman of News Corp and Fox News.

However, when Murdoch sought to amend the family trust as well, his other children - Prudence, Elisabeth, and James - opposed the move, leading to a family feud that had to be settled in court. The proceedings took place behind closed doors, much to the frustration of the American media.

Murdoch's media outlets are known for their influence in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Most of his channels and newspapers have a distinctively right-wing conservative character. According to The New York Times, Murdoch had ensured that this ideology would be preserved through the amendment of the statutes. While Lachlan shares his father's political views, James and Elisabeth are considered less conservative. For instance, James publicly supported Democrat Kamala Harris during the presidential elections.
