    Fox News is at it again and may be subject to another huge settlement. After settling their case with Dominion Voting Machines for $787 Million, they are at it again.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/29/hunter-biden-demands-fox-news-explicit-images/

    “While using certain true information, the series intentionally manipulates the facts, distorts the truth, narrates happenings out of context, and invents dialogue intended to entertain,” says the 14-page letter, signed by Tina Glandian of Geragos & Geragos. “Thus, the viewer of the series cannot decipher what is fact and what is fiction, which is highly damaging to Mr. Biden.”
    ...
    ‘The Trial of Hunter Biden’ also unlawfully published and continues to publish intimate images of Mr. Biden depicting him in the nude as well as engaged in sex acts in violation of the majority of states’ laws against the nonconsensual disclosure of sexually explicit images and videos, sometimes referred to as ‘revenge porn’ laws,” the letter states.

    The insatiable appetite of Far Right extremists who love to project Hunter Biden, an acknowledged drug addict, onto Joe Biden is deplorable.

    It's pretty hilarious that the First Son has copyrighted images of him banging prostitutes with illegal firearms while doing drugs. The media can still use copyrighted images under fair use principle, especially when they are widely distributed in the public domain. I highly doubt they depicted Hunter nude. They most likely censored any genitals. He is also falsely claiming the images were "hacked."

    There are laws against this in 46 states. And there is no such entity as a "first son". He's not living in the White House.

    https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-do-if-youre-target-revenge-porn

    Did someone share an intimate image of you without your OK? Or was a nude picture taken without your consent, or maybe an image you shared with someone was shared further than you’d intended? If so, you’re not alone. Many people are affected by so-called revenge porn or non-consensual pornography. If that’s happened to you or someone you know, here’s information to help you decide what to do.

    Fox News doesn't care. They know their mindless boomers will give them money to feed their fears and continue lying to them.

    Look up the definition of "child / children". The "first children" are kids who live with their parents in the White House.

    From your link:

    "We all remember our childhood firsts, but for most of us, these quintessential memories did not take place in one of the country's most famous homes—the White House. In this collection, explore what life has been like for some of the nation's First Children."

    And yes, FOX will probably end up losing the case as they have in the past.

    The decision to keep Hunter in the news is a terrible strategy. Hunter was given a chance to defend himself in the people's House. You know, the public hearing he cried for.

    I do believe Hunter has spent enough time living with mommy and daddy in the White House he can be called the first child.

    How many days would that be as per your records? Also, isn't he a little old to be called "child"?

    The tragedy that is Hunter Biden continues to weigh on the legal infra of the nation. It's as if Hunter intends to grind his family name into the dirt so deeply no Biden will ever shine again..... And when you think about that, that's not such a bad outcome....

    The Supreme Court (I believe Roberts) just denied an appeal to release a convicted Trump ally's request to be out of prison of appeal who had defied a Congressional subpoena. Where is the DoJ making sure the law is evenly applied and isn't just used to attack the President's political adversaries?

    But you must have criminal intent. This was clearly to inform the public about a popular issue in the public domain. For example, NY law:

    That's why it's called "revenge" porn. This is just frivolous nonsense designed to rally the extreme leftist base. Hunter has been engaging in lawfare for quite some time now. And we know it's frivolous because he is lying in the letter claiming it was "hacked" materials in an attempt to scare the defendants into believing other statutes might apply.

    The 1st Amendment is going to get into Hunter's way.

    Unless Fox engaged in illegal activity, this is free press stuff.

    Hunter Biden is a private citizen. He holds no office. The extreme right nonsense

    Here is you blaming a private citizen with the same political authority as Hunter:

    I hope this opens a Pandora’s box of litigation and some health professionals band together to take the two faced twonks to the cleaners over all the COVID misinformation they spewed

    Well, not really, he's the Trump Party flagbearer, ex-POTUS and soon to be POTUS nominee again??!! That's a wee bit of relevant context.

    In addition, there is a very simple solution that's Fox News dependent. All they have to do is issue a retraction and an apology and this entire thing simply goes away. Bye, bye Hunter......easy peazy.

    Highly damaging to Mr. Biden? The guy wrote a book about what a scumbag he is. He refused to accept responsibility for his own daughter and his dick pics were shown in Congress. His own business associates said he was a whore chasing drug addict.

    By the way, didn't a judge order him to get a job? Where is he working?

    If only Hunter had heroically shot his pet dog, maybe the far right would like him!

    I didn't know the 1st amendment allowed Faux Snooze to defame people. Thanks, @Wild Bill Kelsoe !

    That's different. But, Dominion had a friendly judge, too.

    Hunter will need a friendly judge to win his case.
