Excellently explained. I hope he gives them hell. They’ve already given it to him, let’s see if he makes them pay for the services rendered.
Wish he could sue that asshole Comer too.
What an absolute waste of resources that person has inflicted on America.
"We're going to investigate nepotism in the White House!"
"Like Kushner's 2 billion from the Saudis with his security clearance failure?"
"No. Hunters penis."
Both Comer Pyle and that big toe face Marjorie Failure Greene
I hope he gets mtg as well for her picture escapade.
Someone needs to go thru the email list she sent it to and find out how many people under 18 she sent it to.
he will get stopped because there is a law that protects media from getting sued. Trump tried to remove that law, but the democrats shot it down. I think it's title 214 or something like that.
Tell that to Dominion. They sued and won big.
How did they sue.
Fox and various people who work there have been sued before, usually settle out of court and pretend nothing happened.
The burden of proof for a civil defamation suit is pretty high, but Dominion managed to get there. Fox News knew this and decided to settle.
There's no path to failure for him. Yet another lawsuit that results in massive financial loss and firing another host. My money's on either Sean Hannity or Maria bartoroma
Oh Maria will get shit canned then. Executives love pegging Sean Handsly.
i would have gone with “extortionately successful” :)
Since they’re an entertainment channel, no 1st amendment for you fox “news”
Big fan of crackheads, huh?
Nope. But does Hunter hold a position in the administration? No. Yes, he’s a fuck up, but the right’s obsession is just another bogeyman to draw attention away from their shitty agenda to ban books, to cripple education, to privatize everything so a handful of them can reap massive profits.
You replied to a rage bot. Look at their comments and speech patterns. So many incomplete thoughts they type out or sentences that just end abruptly.
They are rage farmers and sow discontent
Good catch.
He is the conduit through which money allegedly (via laptop emails, other addressees emails, bank records, and statements from those involved) was passed to Joe and others.
Saying “but he isn’t part of the administration” is deliberately dodging the issue.
Yea “allegedly” being the key there. I’m sure some century they’ll find the real evidence. Or they’ll drop the issue if Trump wins.
There is evidence alleging crimes. The evidence is real. Maybe you don’t understand words.
Post them here, loser.
"allegedly" without any actual evidence, as the impeachment hearing has constantly pointed out.
Evidence was produced at the hearings.
Was it though? Show the group.
No, it literally wasn't. Not a single GOP member could say what law was broken or provide evidence of it. They were lying just like you are lying.
So you didn’t see anything except Democrat press conferences.
Right, the proof totally exists, thats why you can't just show it.
Do you think I have it in a desk drawer in my living room? It’s easy to find online.
Hahahahahahaha! Rube.
I expect name calling instead of real responses on Reddit.
You have received plenty of rational responses asking for you to provide evidence of your claims. You have come up with nothing but repeating fraudulent claims that have no evidence to back them up. The disconnect is you, fool.
Where did you get your info? Fox? Proof that fox has libeled him.
🙄
Except, none of that turned out to be true. They tried to find evidence, but all they had was the word of a Russian spy
I don’t understand how you can deny reality like this. Search on your own; choose whatever news source you like.
Understand that I HAVE searched. I’ve looked at your media. I’ve looked at mine. I know for a fact there is no evidence.
“Do yOuR oWn ReSeArCh!” Is a failed tactic. Nobody buys it anymore. If you have evidence, put it forward. It’s your claim to support.
No, you haven’t.
Dude even the GOP has given up on it. Bet you still believe in Jewish Space Lasers or JFK is coming soon or that the election was stolen. Note: they all have something in common… no evidence.
Big fan of big veiny hogs, huh?
You don't believe in rehabilitation? Are you Carl's fan, or Phillips?
Russiabot creates rage.
It's about fuckin time!
Ditto x millions💵
Hope he sues MTG next.
Hasbro be damned
🚫FoxNews🚫
FAUX MUSE.
They're pretending to be a news organization so they can claim freedom of the press. I guess it suits them to not be an "entertainment network that nobody should take seriously" for this one.
Plus how will all these Trump political issues be used against them as a ?
He was used by Fox News (along with Hilary) as a distraction for close to a decade. Every time the heat was rightfully turned up on Trump, they would drag Hunter or Hilary through the mud as a way to change the subject and get people to focus on something other than Trump's insanity for a while.
Why threaten, just do it. They lose every case
Article headline is trash. He is doing it
He is doing it. Read the article
As they should, lying to people and masquerading as news while sewing fear and division should be illegal.
Like Russia Gate ? ? 😉🤫
Explain.
Not true, they won the one where they argued that their “news” is so outrageous that nobody should be stupid enough to believe them. 😂😂😂
You're not wrong there but they did pay out a cool $787.5Million to Dominion. And Smartmatic is still coming down the rails at them and they're stalled in the crossing. I'm guessing they'll just settle the suits rather than get dragged ?
They settle alot of them. Which is just as bad.
Good. Shut them down.
Fox News should be held accountable for the harm they are inflicting against every one of us with their disinformation/propaganda. The harm is on multiple levels, with the disinformation of threats of violence, the disinformation that vaccinations are harming us and that COVID isn’t real, to elections being rigged and not to trust the government or the police and our legal institutions. This stress alone is constant and causing friendships and family relationships to be ruined. It should be criminal to do this to a society. This is supposed to be a news outlet. Fox and other media outlets are psychologically abusing our entire population via disinformation/propaganda.
By design. They are allowed to exist just like all the “foreign” propaganda on social media is allowed to exist. To keep us divided and distracted. It protects the status quo
Excellent comment and so true
Yes all broken QANON families should sue FOX NEWS for spreading tainted news like serving tainted milk to our population at large. FOX is an arm of Putin
Good. That propaganda machine needs to be sued out of existence and the management ruined.
After a $787m suit for spewing bullshit I guess they haven’t learned their lesson
Cost of doing business!
thoughts and prayers!
I heard this case has three legs to stand on
Add Green to the list for parading his dong pic in Congress
For what reason?
It’s funny. I think fox is going to make Biden richer than any of the bs claims that they made against him.
The Bidens deserve all the shit Trump is getting!!!
These idiots should know better than to go after private citizens with lies.
Out of curiosity, what did they say that wasn't true about him? Genuine question from someone who doesn't care either way.
According to the filing -
Its airing of unfounded bribery allegations lobbed by indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov and streaming service Fox Nation’s six-part “mock trial” of Hunter Biden on charges he has not been indicted for.
Interesting, was not familiar with that. Who the hell subscribes to Fox Nation 😂
Dad
Edit: and grandpa
Moderator removed comment
1mo
Wtg, Jimmy, that's the way to appeal to young voters !
Go for it
Well, how much would he be shooting for? Remember the $787.5 Million to Dominion Voting Systems that fox paid out?
Well I just want to thank Fox for finally giving Hunter Biden the opportunity to pay his dad back. 😂
He will just blow it 1st
He already did. Those were the ‘receipts’ Comer thought were going to show ‘corruption’. (I haven’t seen any evidence that the Comer family loans were ever paid back, though. (Comer was strangely upset that those loans were ever so much as mentioned.)
If if wins hopefully marge traitor green is next
Hope he does it
Please please sue their lying asses. The whole format for the Faux news network is rage baiting Maga with unsubstantiated lies.
Do it. When smartmatic gets done with Fox there won’t be anything left.
You're delusional.
Keep turning the screws on these asshats. They keep lying and pretending they didn’t know after the fact.
Good! Seems The only way to stop the BS is to hit them in the wallet.
It's all on his laptop, good luck disputing that evidence
Where is it then? Hmm?
I'm sure fox News being forced to issue an spology statement for lying to their viewers will really help their credibility in court.
He should sue them out of existence.
Bring it on. Maybe a trial will reflect who the owner is of the Cocain found in the whitehouse.
Daily beast has to do better than this headline.
Good I hope he wins
Not a threat. A promise.
Cnn and Fox News need to take a hike. Get your trash riling up the people with your trash takes out of here.
Interesting to have a comment blocked/removed because it provides the detailed sourcing that goes against the Fox News narrative. Of course I am not surprised, but it is telling. Below is what happened when I was told I was spouting urban legends. Instead of disputing any of it, the comment was removed.
Which claims are you saying are not facts?
That only about 20% of the laptop was verified, and that some of it showed it was manipulated?
That there was an original version of the laptop that contained far more data than what the computer repair guy said was on his original drive?
That CBS News got a clean copy of the drive, that does not include the tampered data, confirming that the drive distributed before this was not the same as the clean one?
That the "laptop evidence" narratives stopped after that report? The date on it was November of 2022. I'd challenge you to find any politician or any legitimate (or even quasi-legitimate) media source representing any specific narratives related to criminal evidence on the laptop from after that date. (Financial and political crimes, I mean. I am disregarding drug use as a crime in this context)
That one of the GOPs main witnesses is a Russian Asset? Or that the other main witness didn't actually witness any crimes?
That they don't have any email or bank record evidence of crimes?
That Rudy Giuliani was getting disinformation from Russian intellegence? That the contents of the laptop were previously part of Russian disinformation efforts?
Which of these verifiable stories are "urban legends"?
😂
What a little bitch he is.
He's going to be a very wealthy man. $3mil fake Burisma payment turns into a few hundred mil from the GQP. Absolutely brilliant
Do it Hunter . Fake Faux news needs to be taken down
He needs to sue MTG for showing his nudes in Congress.
Margie was jealous that Hunter's was bigger than her's. 😆
From your lips to God’s ears..
They’re so jealous of his dick, they’ve caused it to swing in their direction. God speed, Mr Biden. Take every penny the court will allow, and don’t forget to buy yourself something nice on their dime. Me that I suggest buying their network? Reputation is garbage, but they’ve got solid hardware!
I hope hunter ends up owning this terrorist propaganda network and every braindead trump terrorist that should be living in gitmo, along with anyone that shares their dna. You terrorists will disappear, willingly, or not.
Wow you're not a psychopath at all...I'm sure you're fun at parties...
Making Fox accountable for their actions = psychopath.
Shooting a dog in the face = not psychopath.
gotcha.
Did you miss the part where the guy said every Trump voter and everyone that was ever related to them? Pretty sure no one is genetically predisposed to voting for Trump.
So if we are being technical here you and the OP would actually be the two displaying psychopathic behavior if your not batting an eye to sending some toddler to gitmo because their grandpa voted for Trump, over an idiot shooting their dog in the face. If that seems ironic you may want to consider therapy.
I'm not so invested in this to cyberstalk agreeing and opposing views.
Now if we are wanting to define psychopathic behavior, that might be something to explore...
Weird way to say "I didn't read that guys last sentence." Not sure what your on about with cyberstalking. It's likely we have similiar views but I draw a pretty hard line at detaining people because they are related to people.
It’s interesting that you think “every Trump voter” is a “braindead Trump terrorist”. It’s hilarious that you thought making that argument was going your way make you look smart.
Did...did you just respond to a guy that quoted another guy? While I was pointing out that we should not have people clapping at the idea of locking up Trump supporters and any one that has blood relation to a Trump supporter in Gitmo? You should really learn how to read guy.
No. In fact I did NOT “just respond to a guy that quoted another guy”.
I responded to a guy who ‘translated’ “braindead Trump terrorist” into “every Trump voter”, but is somehow convinced that badly summarizing what you wanted someone else to have said is a ‘quote’.
🤦♂️
Maybe you can figure out the difference between quote and what you did. A mentally competent grade schooler should be able to help you out, but bring your own crayons, it’s rude to expect them to waste theirs on your own incompetence.
this terrorist propaganda network and every braindead trump terrorist that should be living in gitmo, along with anyone that shares their dna
That part right there you see that at the end little guy. How could you possibly defend that bull shit lmao. Have fun rooting for generational punishment, it looks great when North Korea does it.
Yes. As a matter of fact, I do see that, at no point did he say “every Trump voter”.
I don’t know how many more times I can point it out to you, but YOU converted “every braindead Trump terrorist” to “every Trump voter”. You didn’t quote him until just now, and somehow you’ve still managed to miss that you didn’t quote him until now.
Are really you still confused about the difference between a quote and a poorly thought out paraphrase? Or are you just pretending because you can’t handle reality?
Are really you still confused about the difference between a quote and a poorly thought out paraphrase? Or are you just pretending because you can’t handle reality?
No I'm guffawing at a kid trying to pick fights with Trump supporters, picking the guy that's not actually a Trump supporter and apparently completely over looking another kid calling a hack news station a terrorist organization and calling for people related to Trump supporters be forced into Gitmo.
surely at some point the network has to be shut down after all these violations right?
Wow, that’s super.
I think at least 500m In losses to start since they claimed foreign governments were paying him 250m a year and get him a new laptop
It's not a threat. Guaranteed FOX NEWS is getting served.
Awesome. Also has the bonus of locking Fox down from defaining him more during the run up to the election.
Sweet!
Ho money!
Hunter Bide laptop was real!!!
The laptop was proven to be his. It had pictures of him cracked out and doing some weird stuff, so I'm guessing this lawsuit can't be about the laptop itself. It will be interesting to see in what ways they believe he was defamed.
Are you kidding me?
You tell me how he was defamed. My understanding is that he has to prove they said something negative that is demonstrably false. So, the question becomes what did Fox say that was demonstrably false? I don't really watch Fox, and I am not a Hunter Biden expert, so I can't say. I will be interested to see it play out in court, but it sounds like you already know the facts, so please share.
Seems to be centred around them continually airing unfounded bribery allegations lobbed by indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov and streaming service Fox Nation’s six-part “mock trial” of Hunter Biden on charges he has not been indicted for.
What OttawaC said below. Since the election last year, Fox News had used Hunter's name mentioned more than 14,000 times, and only a fraction of those mentions and stories were over his current indictments which has not been proven in a court of law. There was no need to use any of the images on the laptop either. The whole narrative how he was some deep state operative accepting foreign money to influence US policy is blatantly false, has smeared his reputation, and thus open to defamation law suite. Will it be successful, I do not know, but it is not a frivolous lawsuit like Drump has brought and was laughed out of court with sanctions for his lawyers.
For a supposed news media organization, look at how much money they have paid out in previous defamations suites Fox was forced to pay out compared to other news media organizations. It's not even close and so I like his chances. Even Fox's own shareholders have brought a law suite against the organization because their false new narratives have cost the organization hundreds of millions of dollars and impact their bottom line, their dividends from their stock share.
I like Hunter's chances in this law suite. Any reasonable person would as well.
Yeah, I agree. I think they are making it a way bigger deal than it needs to be. Hunter is a crack head who made a bunch of money by being the son of a prominent politician. The crackhead and hookers part isn't super common for the children of prominent politicians, but profiting off of it is incredibly common. Honestly, who cares if he is a prostitute loving crackhead, has nothing to do with Biden directly.
You are right, he was a drug abuser and did destructive behavior things as he did. No one would have given a shit if his last name was Smith and he was related to no one in public.
However his name was Biden, and Fox "News" rode that horse well past it being dead to do anything to make something to stick to Joe Biden. That is why the law suite is coming.
Think what you want of the guy, no one deserved the years of right wing rhetoric and smear campaign as he received, which is why there will be a law suite. It is valid, and once discovery happens and they have e-mails and texts from people like Hannity or Walters that point to anyone at Fox talent or leadership knew the evidence against him was manufactured, Fox will do what it has done in the past when caught in such overt propaganda and pay, and they will likely have to pay big, if they find that link. I believe they will as we have learned from the Dominion Law suite and Jan 6 the people at Fox are not that bright, and do not cover their tracks.
I can't blame him. The allure of crack and prostitutes is hard for all of us to resist.
nope definitely his crack pipe
How was the laptop proven to be his? Did you ask the blind computer repair man if he saw Hunter?
Fox news needs to issue an apology, tell the truth, fire everyone involved. Anything less than that is paying a price for corruption. Though I do like knowing all their money raised is going to the people they lie about.
Out of curiosity, what did they say that wasn't true about him? Genuine question from someone who doesn't care either way.
The whole running history’s largest criminal gang for starters…
As I understand it they ran a story that turned out to originate as Russian Propaganda that implies Hunter took billions in bribes, in addition to spreading some conspiracy about a laptop that they could never prove existed, and then finally promoted his dick picks and private photos from an external hardrive they claimed was apart of the never proven laptop. Hunter Biden has admitted that he use to have a drug problem and got help getting clean, with the love and support of his father. So they also promote that Hunter Biden is still on drugs, even though that also can not be proven. Honestly there might even be a lot more, I think I've heard a lot more, but that's what I personally can remember off the top of my head. I'm sure there is a more extensive list somewhere that has debunked fox news propaganda.
I mean, we all know the guy loves crack and prostitutes. Who cares? He has made a lot of money off of his dad's position, but every child of former Presidents/VPs has done that. Lots of nothing burgers if you ask me. Hopefully it is all resolved in court.
I hope he does. It would be great to see everything out in the open on both sides.
Dude said he can't even pay child support. What a bum.
Fox already paid millions for lying… so meh. Fox is trash…
“Oh oh. Hunter hired the same lawyers who represented the voting machine companies.”
If everyone that has been defamed by Fox News would sue them, the world would be a better place.
Hee hee! Go Hunter. Enough of this witch hunt the gop is putting you through!
You slander influential people/companies enough and they’re gonna hit back. And now the world knows that they don’t care if anything is true, they just report it anyway. They lost HUGE vs Dominion, they’re going to lose against the other voting company, Smartmatic, and they’ve opened the door for much more. I suspect as long as Russia has money, they’ll survive, though. In the meantime, go get ‘em, Hunter!
Well fox did win a lawsuit against them and proved that they weren't really news lol
But then again, fox is used churning out bs and positing it as truth.
I can't wait to see how fox covers this lawsuit after it's no longer pending. I'm sure they'll have full soectrum information and coverage on it similar to their $787.5 Million loss to Dominion. Maybe Bill O'Reilly will offer his loofah to calm the situation down?
Sometime in 2026 “remember when Hunter got rich off of Fox News for lying about him? I remember, Fox remembers, Hunter remembers.”
Pipe dream at best
Dream? Didn’t see the payout to Dominion?
Fox engages in routine defamation. $787 million. That’s expensive.
Do you believe they changed their ways recently and stopped telling defamatory lies about people and businesses?
lol what defamation?? wah wah wah i don't want people talking about me cause i think i'm special. throw his ass in jail already.
Cope harder 🤡💦💦
Lmfao prove me wrong instead of looking like a fool. Ah i forgot demorats don't care about facts.
Well the facts are Fox was caught lying and defaming before and admired they lied to a cool 787.5 Million about Dominion. That’s not just words, those are facts, ones Fox doesn’t was to report on. It also got Tucker fired, who hates trump.
Here’s your facts the court docs themselves: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/redacted-documents-in-dominion-fox-news-case/dca5e3880422426f/full.pdf
Here’s another fact you seem to not get from a real law source too
Defamation: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defamation
Lol so where are they lying with Hunter Biden?
Why do you care about him he’s not connected to the White House no matter how much you try to say he is. They dragged his character through the mud for political drama all cause he’s a Biden because people like you would get a kick out of hating the “the other side” when the actual politics are more the rich vs middle class. The laptop was a farce, and if it wasn’t then where is it? You don’t send crucial evidence through the mail then claim to have lost it. Yes Biden admitted it was his but all it had was personal information on it and it was used to try and slander Hunter for shit we already know. Nothing about Joe was on it and Fox and MTG used hunter to make a political drama about Joe Biden to shift the polls. Who cares about some former crackheads laptop with no government documents on it? I care more about what documents trump still has or has possibly sold. But no let’s distract so we all for get those documents in trumps bathroom.
lmfao guy breaks numerous laws and used daddy's position to get a job overseas and now is hiding behind dad to stay out of jail but yeah we shouldn't care about that at all. idiots. how do you know what is on the laptop? last i head the fbi had it in possession for a couple years and refused to do anything with it. a couple years is more than enough time to tamper with it. we all know you can't trust the fbi anymore.
I don’t know what’s out exactly, if you’d read I said personal info duh. What else is on a laptop? I don’t care about hunter, he’ll if he’s breaking laws throw him in jail. You just want it to make Joe look bad. More distractions from partisan politics. Fox News and the rich don’t care about anyone that doesn’t make them money. If there was incriminating evidence on Joe on the laptop republicans would have used it already cause they claimed to have had the laptop info. The over site committee found nothing, and guess who they are, Republicans. If there is anything other than political theater from the laptop not even republicans who wanted to find evidence found anything. Talk about waste of time instead of legislating and making the country better. You focus on this farce but Hunter might as well be a nobody, he’s not the child of a president who got money from a foreign government for being in the White House. That was Jared Kushner, but you’ll come up with excuses for that 2 billion from the saudis. Why? Political bias instead of facts, which don’t care about your feelings. Why don’t you actually focus on real issues instead like Gaza or Ukraine, instead of blaming the left for what ever the right did like tank border security, which was mostly conservative bill. You don’t want to solve anything you want to complain complain complain. And when your taxes go up bitch about the people who DIDNT raise them. You only care about the theatrics, politics is about finding a solution WITH people across the aisle. Not arguing conspiracies. Hunter can go to jail if he’s a criminal but that goes for Trump too.
lmfao are you that dense? that ignorant to protect your party of choice? jfc trying to act like you don't care or pick sides but you can obviously see it in your responses.
Most of what I said was facts and you still argue and deflect. Instead of trying to reach common ground you continue to argue point I’m not trying to make. Never claimed to be an independent or someone who plays both sides. You just want to divide the country instead of working together. You ignore your own parties problems and crimes instead of calling them out cause you want the republicans to tell you what to think. Think for yourself and look at the facts. You’re short responses ignoring most of my comments are pathetic and it’s obvious you don’t know the subject matter well cause you can’t actually argue the facts. You’re the one being dense and proving republicans only project. Take the L bro
It’s odd that Reddit is such a bastion for libtards.
It truly is.
His legal representation would never let this happen lol
Good, the more they are held accountable the better.
Now if we can get them to remove the word “news” from their infotainment programming we’d be making progress.

Terrible headline.
From the first line of the article
That's an announcement of intention, not a "threatening statement".
Want more?
That's an initial action in the process.
Hunter's gunning for them.
He's going for it.
I hope he is extraordinarily successful.
