"Unpacking the Latest Episodes of 'Succession': Murdoch Comparisons and Karaoke Confessions"
TL;DR
In the second episode of season four of Succession, Logan Roy gave an impassioned speech to his news network ATN, reminiscent of Rupert Murdoch's address to The Wall Street Journal staff after purchasing the paper in 2007. Both speeches were given on improvised stages, with assistants nervously eyeing the setup. Murdoch's purchase of the paper was similar to the fictional Pierce family's sale of their holdings in Succession.
