      I know the network would fold immediately, but the sheer joy of seeing, “Fox News, under new management of Hunter Biden” would be so worth it.

        If Hunter ended up owning Fox News, The smartest thing he could do would be to never broadcast that information on Fox, because then literally none of the Republicans would ever know it even happened.

      Hogan’s lawsuit was backed by Peter Thiel, who had a grudge against Gawker for outing him as gay.

    Make the dominion settlement look like child’s play. Crush those liars. Words have consequences, expensive consequences.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “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.”

    An earlier letter was hand-delivered to Fox’s counsel two weeks ago, and the network asked for more time to respond, according to a source familiar with Biden’s legal efforts.

    Fox News also agreed to a $12 million settlement with a former employee who alleged she was pressured to provide misleading information as part of the Dominion case.

    The effort took on new importance with the revelations that the bribery allegations cited on air originated from the FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who was indicted by special counsel David Weiss in February.

    In a statement, Geragos said: “For the last five years, Fox News has relentlessly attacked Hunter Biden and made him a caricature in order to boost ratings and for its financial gain.

    “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.
