Rupert Murdoch has relinquished his throne as the head of Fox Corp. and News Corp., and he leaves his media empire with a mixed legacy.
Murdoch will be chairman emeritus of Fox Corp. and News Corp., while his son Lachlan will become the sole chairman in charge of the companies.Murdoch launched the Fox network with the intention of competing with the Big Three television networks — ABC, CBS and NBC. The fledgling network had to distinguish itself against more conventional network series like “The Cosby Show” and “Family Ties.
The Fox network also played a major role in diversifying what we saw on TV. “The Arsenio Hall Show,” syndicated on many Fox affiliates, featured the first Black late-night TV show, while the network’s 1990 sketch comedy show “In Living Color” mainstreamed irreverent Black comedy. The brainchild of Keenen Ivory Wayans, the show and its dancing Fly Girls broke through at a time when much of America was still wringing its hands over the creeping influence of hip-hop in white suburbs.
Host Bill O’Reilly was a master at stoking outrage as the network’s first star commentator, providing a caustic tirade against “the mainstream, liberal press.” After O’Reilly was taken down by that led to his axing, show that many at Fox knew that hosts and their guests were propagating falsehoods about the 2020 election, while repeatedly telling viewers that Fox was the only trustworthy source in the media.
