Means nothing, his son will take over and is just as bad, if not worse than pops.

Fuck you Rupert.

You make me ashamed to be Australian.

Don't feel bad. When he fucked off to the U.S he renounced his Australian citizenship.

Clearly being a megalomaniac was more important to him.

If he did, I can see the next few things following immediately after:

Rebranding to X News
Adding the news segments as videos on X (formerly Twitter)
Pushing the news on users, much like he pushes his own Tweets
Dropping cable television broadcasting because the FCC and regulations go against his "free speech absolutist" values.

Hopefully it's due to ill health
