Last fall, the Murdochs' infighting over the future of their media empire was laid bare in a Nevada courtroom — behind closed doors. The New York Times obtained more than 3,000 pages of documents from that legal fight, which reveal a story of bitterness and betrayal that not even the writers of “Succession” — inspired by the Murdoch family — could have conjured, and one that will shape the future of the most powerful conservative media empire in the English-speaking world. Jonathan Mahler and Jim Rutenberg, who have reported on the Murdoch family for more than two decades, explain what they learned from the documents and why the Murdoch court battle is more than just a family drama.
