Mehr zum Buch

Meet the Murdochs, the dysfunctional family behind Fox News, once a dominant media and political force in America, now facing a crumbling empire. Michael Wolff, known for his captivating trilogy on the Trump presidency, offers an unprecedented look into the Murdoch family and their influential world. This exploration reveals Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old billionaire, preoccupied with his legacy yet primarily driven by profit. His contentious children are vying for control as they anticipate their father's departure. Star anchor Tucker Carlson contemplates a presidential run, while Sean Hannity, the wealthiest figure in television, aims to reinstate Trump. Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham navigates her career in a male-dominated environment. As the repercussions of the 2020 election and the Dominion lawsuit threaten the network's reputation, the Murdoch heirs position themselves for a dramatic showdown. Wolff's insights have been foundational for many, including Jeremy Strong, who portrays Kendall Roy in "Succession." Praised as a #1 New York Times bestseller, this work is filled with intrigue, backstabbing, and a humorous yet poignant portrayal of a family grappling with power and ambition.
