With the Dolan family squabble at Cablevision almost resolved (we hope), The New York Observer dives into the mess at yet another troubled family dynasty: the Murdochs. With the announcement two weeks ago that Lachlan Murdoch would resign as deputy chief operating officer of News Corp., The Observer speculates about what it all means for the New York Post, as the 33-year-old Lachlan Murdoch is replaced as publisher of the New York Post by its former publisher, the 74-year-old Rupert Murdoch. Behind the scenes, the struggle for power was messy, says the Observer, with Lachlan chafing under the "absolute authority" and "tyranny" of Rupert.

It's perhaps fitting that the Post - the "beloved tabloid" of Rupert known for ruffling the feathers of not a few New Yorkers - is at the center of the Murdoch family intrigue:

"The restoration of the 74-year-old Mr. Murdoch to the vehicle into which he has thrown so much capital and passion comes after a week of the kind that the Post itself would revel in, of public family turmoil and power Parcheesi that exacted an emotional cost from his son."

The BBC has more on the future of the Murdoch dynasty, asking quite bluntly: "Is anyone big enough to step into Dad's shoes?"
