How the Murdoch titles are covering the Murdoch exit

Rupert Murdoch has announced his retirement from News Corp and Fox, at the age of 92. His son Lachlan will become sole chairman of both companies.

So, how did the News Corp mastheads report his departure? In gushing prose? In muted, respectful tones, similar to Rupert describing his son as a “passionate, principled leader” in his retirement memo?

“For my entire professional life, I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change,” the elder Murdoch wrote. So you know he’s paying attention.
