Lachlan Murdoch sues Fairfax Media for defamation

Lachlan Murdoch is suing Fairfax Media for defamation after a column claimed he neglected his duties as chairman of Channel Ten by flying in News Corporation’s corporate jet, reports The Australian. The CBD column in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age attempted to link the performance of Ten, chaired by Mr Murdoch, with the time he was spending on the jet.
