Murdoch Empire Reaches Deal, Succession Creators Sue For Plagiarism

The massive Murdoch media empire has finally worked out who will take over in the unlikely event of 95-year-old Rupert Murdoch’s death. But this time you don’t need to watch four seasons to find out.

And the winner is… drum roll please… surprise, surprise, it’s Murdoch’s firstborn son, LACHLAN! Woo! Congrats, son, come up here and accept your prize: full control over Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Post.

Reportedly, the Murdochs were forced to make this decision after the Succession TV show season finale played out word for word how they were planning to settle. The real-life family was forced to U-turn and pick the most likely option instead.

However, this hasn’t stopped the creators of Succession from seeing the similarity and have filed a lawsuit against the Murdo family for plagiarism.

The HBO show’s writers allege that the Murdochs stole their whole idea for a cool businessy drama about taking over a media empire with lots of swearing.

“No one would have ever heard of the Murdoch family if it weren’t for Succession,” claims Jesse Eisenberg, the series creator. “We MADE them. WE MADE THEM!!!”

And now HBO wants the money its are owed for copyright infringement, defamation and even stealing the theme song, which Rupert Murdoch reportedly uses every time he enters a room.

Murdoch? More Like Mur-SHLOCK!

Just like in the show, the contention over the succession (small ‘s’) was over the political direction of the media organisations, with Lachlan leaning more conservative like his father, whilst the other siblings are a bunch of disgusting wokes.

After Daddy Rupert’s improbable death, Lachlan could theoretically be voted out by his siblings and, genuinely, the political direction of the world would be slightly shifted.

Can’t have that.

Bring on a bitter, years-long legal battle that has finally been resolved by icing out those greasy libs: the other siblings were successfully bribed to sell their shares and relinquish all control of the media congloburations, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST?

Alright, that’s all from me, fucky-go-bye-bye.
