Description

Not Another True Crime presents the fifth installment of the 8-episode limited series exposing the connections you never knew existed: Do You Know Who My Dad Is? explores dynastic nepotism and the effects it has on media, culture, and our current political system. Hosts Bryan Russell Smith and Alicia Angeles are talking all about the privilege that leads inexperienced and unaccomplished children of powerful people to get ahead. 
On this week’s episode, we’re talking all about the families behind two of the biggest media empires in the world, Fox News (the Murdochs) and The New York Times (the Ochs Sulzbergers). First, Bryan walks us through the history of the Murdochs, starting with patriarch Rupert Murdoch’s rise to wealth and power. Plus, he outline the many scandals the family has endured and how Rupert’s children stand to inherit his vast empire. Next, Alicia outlines the lineage of the Ochs Sulzbergers and how the role of publisher has been passed from one (white male) family member to another for over a century. Finally, they finish this week’s episode with a game called “Get With the Times” all about some of the most interesting facts about these two media families.
