From the fake article: One detective elaborates. "Officers on the scene report a broken glass, a box of vintage wine, and what seems to be a family album strewn across the floor, containing images from days gone by; some containing handpainted portraits of Murdoch in his early days, donning a top hat and monocle." I've got to give it to them, that's hilarious.

Indeed. Too bad that so much useful information won't be digested b/c folks get more vicarious thrills reading about criminal acts. Too bad too that folks have to get off harming others irrespective of how they pretend to justify their actions. Yeah I know, grow some, get over it, that's life...

It would have been a little more convincing if they'd bothered to use an apostrophe: Media Mogul's Body Discovered. Not to nitpick, but you want a media prank to work, you need to think like media people. They wouldn't forget punctuation.
