In The Fall, Wolff returns to one of the foundational subjects of his journalistic career, Rupert Murdoch, to tell the story of the collapse of a media dynasty. He writes of the effects of Foxs all-powerful controlling shareholders age (92), the desperate rivalries and contradictory desires of his children regarding the future of the network (the flesh and blood version of HBOs Succession ), the irresolvable contradiction of Rupert Murdochs antipathy to Trump, and to Foxs own stars, the full backstory of Tucker Carlsons ouster and of Foxs Chief Legal Officer, Viet Dinhs recent ouster, and reveals hidden details of the Dominion Settlement. Foxs power and its business are unsustainable, says Wolff, and the end of the network is not only imminent, but inevitable as we accelerate into the 2024 presidential election and a looming future without the patriarch.
