Journalist Gabriel Sherman has covered the Murdoch family for nearly two decades. In his new book, Bonfire of the Murdochs, he chronicles the protracted public battle for control the family business.
The owner of Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and dozens of other media properties has settled a legal fight with three of his own children over who would control his companies after his death.
The new CNN+ docuseries The Murdochs looks inside the Fox media empire and the family's behind-the-scenes in-fighting. Journalist Jim Rutenberg says the real-life drama rivals HBO's Succession.
The rupture capped a period of intensifying criticism of coverage and views in the news empire created by his father Rupert Murdoch, such as in TheWall Street Journal and the Fox News Channel.
