Hunter Biden threatening to sue Fox News

[HomerJS]

God I hope he does. He was not a public figure so I think he has grounds.

While some things are news simply because his dad is the president, showing a mock trial? That has to be beyond anything that could be considered "news". The rest of the allegations might falter, but I think that one has the most sticking power.

There's a reason that Law and Order and all those other shows avoid the likenesses of real people, even if the stories within the shows are "ripped from the headlines"

TIL Fox News has a subscription-based streaming video service called Fox Nation (this is where you can watch the mock trial series, I was curious so I went to check it out).

Holy crap they’re cosplaying prosecuting Hunter…

Guess we know what Marge is flicking the bean to then.

In an emailed response to Newsweek, Fox News said the Hunter Biden "mock trial" was removed "out of an abundance of caution."

He shouldn't have warned them at all. Just should have filed against tons of defendants. And done it a while ago.

My guess is he wanted to give them as much rope as possible to hang themselves

He also probably doesn't want to create any more of a media circus during the election cycle.

I have no interest in going to whatever hell hole Fox site is hosting that mock trial content. The fact that after some sabre rattling by Hunter, Fox removed the content, it just goes to show they knew what they were doing was shady as all hell.

It was out there for a while already, they released it in 2022.

Maybe he can still sue for damage done... when the time is right (i.e. after the election)?

AFAIK - you have to give them a chance to correct the problem. I hope he demanded an apology from Fox News for putting his junk on the internet

He may still have grounds for a suit. We’ll see
