The comments represent a rare public dispute among members of the Murdoch family about News Corp's editorial direction.
They come as the bushfire crisis ravaging Australia has focussed attention on the climate coverage in News Corp mastheads such as The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and the Herald Sun.
“Kathryn and James’ views on climate are well established and their frustration with some of the News Corp and Fox coverage of the topic is also well known,” a spokesperson for Murdoch and his wife told The Daily Beast website.
