Deadline reports that when asked about the Dominion lawsuit, Lachlan Murdoch responded:

“I think fundamentally, what I would say about it, is [that] a news organization has an obligation and it is an obligation to report the news fulsomely, wholesomely and without fear or favor. And that is what Fox News has always done and will always do. “I think a lot of the noise that you hear about this case is actually not about the law and is not about journalism and is really about the politics,” Murdoch continued. “And that’s unfortunately more reflective of our polarized society that we live in today.”

Yet Lachlan Murdoch, along with his father, bears responsibility for fostering that polarization and undermining our democracy.

Unlike his father, who became a U.S. citizen so he could purchase TV stations, Lachlan Murdoch is not an American citizen. He holds dual Australian-British citizenship.

Media Matters, the nonprofit media watchdog group, had billboard trucks circling around the hotel since Wednesday, highlighting messages based on communications made public in Dominion’s legal filings. The portable billboards read ”Lachlan Murdoch helped fuel an insurrection,” and “Lachlan Murdoch Knew,” among others, SF Gate reported.

SF Gate had this to say about Lachlan Murdoch:

The heir had his own communications leak, including one in which he said that Tucker Carlson was "absolutely wrong" to say immigrants make America dirtier. Regarding the 2020 presidential election, Murdoch lamented the fact that Trump was "dismissive" of the January Georgia runoff races for control of the Senate because the former president believed "it's all rigged anyway."
