Rupert Murdoch a leftist? I worked for him briefly. He's as much a leftist as I am the King of Neptune. Murdoch is a right-winger who loves money and does whatever he deems necessary to make it.

He may not be an avowed leftist but his kids certainly are. Either way, no logical reason to get rid of Tucker and he did the lefts bidding.

Doing the left's bidding? Not hardly. The Murdochs don't do anyone's bidding except their own. In any case, neither Rupert nor Lachlan are "avowed leftists."

I have a feeling your idea of "leftist" diverges strongly from what most people mean when they use that word.

"Avowed leftist" seems to mean anything more liberal than the far right.

So, his son James is an "avowed leftist" because he and his wife contributed their own money to elect Democrats, fight climate change, and ensure free and fair elections in this country? That's the definition of a moderate liberal, not a leftist.

Lachlan Murdoch, scion of Rupert's empire, is far more conservative than his father, which makes him a member of the far right wing, since you were asking.

They just don't make "avowed leftists" like they used to. Saul Alinsky would spit in their faces.
