Fox News pulls down series as Hunter Biden threatens lawsuit

Fox News has pulled down a six-part series in which it staged a mock trial of hypothetical criminal charges against Hunter Biden after the president's son threatened to sue the network.

The series, which was first posted on the cable network's right-wing streaming service back in October 2022, was removed only a day after Biden's legal team publicly made its threat. Biden says the network defamed him, among other accusations.

"We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and — out of an abundance of caution in the interim — have taken it down," Fox News Media said in acknowledging the decision Tuesday afternoon.

The media giant's move came just hours after it released a statement denouncing Biden's accusations, describing its coverage of him as within its constitutional rights.

Seems like common sense legal advice when you're getting sued for something. I'm sure they weren't exactly making a bunch of money off it. If they win the lawsuit I would expect them to repost the series; but I would also expect this will settle out of court no matter what the facts are.

For me the funniest part about all of this is how no one watched the "Trial of Hunter Biden" show when it first aired in 2022 and then Fox dumped it on their streaming service after that. I don't blame Hunter for suing but he has a tough case to prove that people were misled in a massive when only a few thousand people at most watched it to begin with.
