Rupert Murdoch wants his son Lachlan to run operations of his businesses when he's gone; the issue has made its way to court in Nevada.

Rupert Murdoch took an Australia paper in Adelaide and turned it into one of the most influential media empires in the world. The question of who will run it after he’s gone though is the subject of speculation both in reality and on the HBO fictional series “Succession.” Now, a small probate court in Nevada will weigh in on that very question.

Today, how did the drama come to be? And what will the decision mean for the future of Fox, one of the most influential networks, on the planet and our political discourse?
