Play Video: As Rupert Murdoch Resigns from His Right-Wing Media Empire, Will His Son Lachlan Be More Extreme?

As billionaire Rupert Murdoch announces he will resign as head of his media empire, we speak with Angelo Carusone, president and CEO of the watchdog group Media Matters for America, about the right-wing mogul's influence on journalism and politics over the last seven decades. The 92-year-old Murdoch will step down as chair of Fox Corporation and News Corporation in November, with his son Lachlan to head both companies that control Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post and more. Carusone says as the elder Murdoch steps back, it's important to "make sure that his legacy doesn't get sugarcoated, that we are really cognizant of the scale of damage that he's created," which includes climate denialism and the growing influence of the far right in politics. Carusone also warns that Lachlan Murdoch is more conservative than his father, with a "nihilist" worldview that could make Fox News and other properties even more extreme.
