Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday she’s glad Rupert Murdoch is stepping down from his empire, but blasted the media magnate for the “incalculable damage” he’s done to the country.
Fox Corp and News Corp. announced Murdoch, 92, would pass the reins of the companiesto his son, Lachlan Murdoch ― a seismic shift in a media landscape he has long dominated.
Warren appeared on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” after the news, telling host Joy Reid that Murdoch’s work ― including the creation of Fox News — had made lasting changes to the nation.
