Update: Later Tuesday Fox News removed its Hunter Biden miniseries after a lawsuit threat.
CNN reported:
Fox News on Tuesday removed a six-part Hunter Biden miniseries from its streaming platform, after his attorneys threatened to sue the right-wing network over the incendiary and at-times sexually explicit program about his legal troubles.
The removal is a swift response from the conservative media juggernaut, whose spokespeople were defending the material as recently as Tuesday morning.
“This program was produced in and has been available since 2022,” a Fox News Media spokesperson said in a statement. “We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and – out of an abundance of caution in the interim – have taken it down.”
The program, titled “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” was an offering on the Fox Nation digital streaming network. It was also promoted on Fox News, the cable TV channel.
Fox News earlier Tuesday hit back after Hunter Biden threatened a ‘revenge porn’ defamation suit.
Hunter Biden launched a war against Fox News with a defamation lawsuit.
“Hunter Biden’s legal team wrote that they anticipate “imminent” litigation against Fox News and requested that prominent Fox News hosts, including Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters and Maria Bartiromo, preserve documentation.” Axios reported.
The lawsuit alleges “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”
Hunter’s attorneys demanded Fox News remove the “intimate images of Mr. Biden depicting him in the nude as well as engaged in sex acts,” from all of their platforms claiming the images were “hacked, stolen, and/or manipulated digital material.”
The images from Hunter’s laptop from hell were not hacked or stolen. He abandoned his laptop at a Delaware computer repair shop.
Fox News called its reporting on Hunter Biden and the salacious contents from his laptop from hell “Constitutionally protected coverage.”
Per CNN: In response to the lawsuit threats, a Fox News Media spokesperson defended the network’s “constitutionally protected coverage” of Hunter Biden, a “public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the Department of Justice and Congress.”
“Consistent with the First Amendment, Fox News has accurately covered these highly publicized events as well as the subsequent indictment of an FBI informant who was the source of certain claims made about Mr. Biden,” the spokesperson said in the statement, CNN reported.
