A video on the possible successor to 92-year-old media baron Rupert Murdoch is the latest effort from U.K.-based political campaign group Led By Donkeys.
Titled “The Murdoch Succession,” the video, which is under 10 minutes and projected on a New York highrise, is narrated by “Succession” star J. Smith-Cameron, who plays Gerri Kellman in the smash hit series.
Via his company News Corp, the billionaire Murdoch is the owner of hundreds of local, national, and international publishing and television outlets around the world, including The Sun and The Times in the U.K., The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post in the U.S. and Fox News, through the Fox Corporation.
The video traces Murdoch’s life since his birth in Australia in 1931, notes his friendship with former U.S. president Donald Trump and records his media ownerships and alleged interference in U.K. government policy. It also looks at the positions of his children Elisabeth, James and Lachlan vis a vis the Murdoch empire.
The video was retweeted by actor Hugh Grant with the message “please scatter widely.”
