Rupert Murdoch and his sons survived a shareholder challenge to their control of News Corp.

Following the company's annual meeting in Los Angeles on Friday, News Corp. announced that Murdoch, his sons James and Lachlan, and the remainder of the board had been reelected -- despite calls from some shareholders for their ouster.

News Corp. declined to announce the vote tally, saying it would release figures early next week.

The vote is expected to be a referendum on Murdoch's stewardship of the $33-billion-a-year conglomerate that owns the Fox broadcast network, Fox News Channel, the 20th Century Fox movie studio, HarperCollins publishing house and such newspapers as the Wall Street Journal.

4. I imagine NewsCorp's #2 investor, the House of Saud, had something to say about it.

They're good with the RW propganda/misinformation mission of NewsCorp/Fox.
