Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire owner of Fox News, has arguably been the most formidable force in right-wing media and politics for over a quarter-century. But for the first time, perhaps ever, he and his network will find themselves in real peril. Crank conspiracy theories the network broadcast about the 2020 election and Dominion Voting Systems are at the heart of a massive $1.6 billion defamation suit, which is set to go to trial on Monday. For Inside the Hive’s first episode of its special season dedicated to the trial, join Vanity Fair special correspondent Brian Stelter as he breaks down the stakes for Murdoch, Fox News, and American democracy. He’s joined by special correspondent Gabriel Sherman, who unpacks Murdoch’s succession plans, his short-lived engagement, and of course, the impending courtroom drama. “It’s not like covering a normal publicly traded company,” Sherman explains. “It’s really like covering a royal family.”
