Murdoch’s employees, like Andrew Bolt, are scared to walk the streets of their own hometowns. His wife lost the plot when their eldest son was outed in the press for working at the IPA. Their daughter was sent overseas. Does anyone even know where or what their youngest is doing? Yet Bolt used his home as his office and condemned his family to the psychological stresses of his paranoias.

Lachlan Murdoch has solved that issue. As Head of Fox News and News Corp New York he runs his office from Sydney and lives here and not in the USA. Andrew Bolt gives the impression he hates Australia and even fled elsewhere to holiday. His preferred destination is Holland. He fled from Malvern to the conservative Mornington Peninsula but I’m sure he’s still uncomfortable. He’d rather be running his mouth offshore living on a barge in Amsterdam. His never-photographed wife Sally and kids would rather have had a less secret existence. So why did Andrew Bolt put his family under such a psychological hammer? His ego and counterfeit syndrome of being found out who he truly is demand he remain disingenuous and the Murdochs pander to personalities like Bolt who are merely invisible ghosts behind a curtain.

What can we now expect from Rupert Murdoch’s successor, his son Lachlan? Don’t hold your breath waiting for Murdock 2.0 to take his family media colossus down a path any less plutocratic. Lachlan doesn’t have much E. W. Scripps in him. Back in 2019, he spent $150 million on an 11-acre estate in L.A. At that time, Lachlan’s new home rated as the second-most expensive U.S. mansion ever purchased.
