Murdoch: "My son would look like Trayvon Martin"

RUPERT Murdoch caused a fresh sensation at the Leveson Inquiry today, by claiming that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.

Mr Murdoch made the claim in response to a completely unrelated question about corporate governance at News International.

With a crocodile tear rolling down his cheek, Mr Murdoch said: “I heard what Obama said and it's a damned cheek.

“There's no way his son would look like Trayvon; but if I had a boy, he would be Trayvon's spitting image.”

When Labour MP Tom Watson suggested that Mr Murdoch already had a son, called James, Mr Murdoch replied mysteriously: “Do I?” before laughing maniacally and flying off through an open window.
