Rupert Murdoch's bid to alter family trust is rejected by Nevada commissioner

Rupert Murdoch's attempt to change an irrevocable family trust has been rejected by a Nevada probate commissioner. The ruling stated that his efforts were made in "bad faith." The trust currently divides control of the family media empire among Murdoch's four oldest children. This means Lachlan Murdoch could lose his position if changes are not made. Murdoch aimed to secure full voting power for Lachlan to maintain conservative control over their media assets. He recently attended a family gathering in Sydney.
