Succession scene shows Logan Roy mirror real-life Rupert Murdoch moment
Succession decided to take a direct page out of the Murdoch playbook in its latest episode.
The acclaimed HBO drama is said to be loosely based on the business magnate whose empire includes The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and Fox News in the US and The Sun and The Times in the UK.
In its fourth season’s latest episode, “Rehearsal”, the irascible patriarch and media mogul Logan Roy (Brian Cox) climbs atop paper boxes to address his staff at Atn – a fictional equivalent to Fox News.
He proceeds to give a rousing speech to his employees, yelling that he couldn’t care less about growth statistics as long as “we’re killing the opposition”.
“Our rivals should be checking in, out the back of their chauffeured cars because they can’t believe what we did,” Logan shouts.
