Jokes aside, James Murdoch resigning isn't anything like Succession. It just shows that Fox Corp and News Corp are Lachlan Murdoch's companies now, full stop -- and that Lachlan is the one responsible for enabling the lies and malfeasance and white nationalism.
Lachlan's the one who's consistently enabled Tucker Carlson, shielding him from all criticism (and consequences) whatsoever.
What's telling here is that a Murdoch family member would rather walk away than bear any responsibility for the rot in the empire. And that rot is deep.
I do love all the Succession jokes though.
