I doubt Lachlan Murdoch was going to sue Crikey, but I suspect the gamechanger was a full-page ad that Crikey ran in The New York Times calling on Lachlan to back up his threats to sue by filing and serving his defamation claim.CNN reported:
Rupert Murdoch has a history of bribing British police for stories which News UK CEO Rebekah Brooks admitted in 2003 as per the below video.
