Unfortunately his other son who was against his dad's ways publicly attacked him so he's got put aside while the smart move would have been to play his game, take over the company and change it.

If you changed fox news, the people who watched fox news would go elsewhere, it wouldn't reprogram them.

The tail wags the dog in this case. Fox is lie based propaganda because its audience demands lie based propaganda.

Why would that have been the smart move? If given the choice of having money and no obligations or having money and inheriting a dumpster fire while lying about what you belief for decades which would you pick? Maybe he doesnt want to be king of the shit pile.
