Is it true that the Murdoch family controls Fox Corporation, the owner of Fox News Channel?
Yes. One source states Fox Corporation is controlled by the Murdoch family through a family trust holding about 39.6%, with Rupert Murdoch as chair and Lachlan Murdoch as CEO. Other items only link Fox News to Rupert Murdoch personally or to the Murdoch family's broader media interests, not to family control of Fox Corporation specifically.
