Leaks from the Murdoch family say he was just fine with his employees actions (and resulting $millions of hush money). Murdoch had decided to let it all blow over. But his sons apparently view sexual assault as criminal activity that must stop. Apparently Rubert Murdoch's sons kept demanding a pragmatic approach. And are wielding more power. Fox executives and stars who routinely conducted sexual harassment and were exposed had to go.
Its no accident that criminal activity was most often in Murdoch businesses. As sons take more power, interesting will be how a corrupt culture changes. Does it start acting in a more ethical manner - as Bill Krystal of the Weekly Standard has openly discussed (or complained).
