"Lawyers for Hunter Biden are demanding Fox News issue corrections about some of its coverage of the president’s son or risk a defamation lawsuit, according to the Washington Post."
I found myself laughing at this one because of its potential to backfire. which would be well deserved in my opinion. I guess it does have one big plus on their end, namely that the biggest reason for a lawsuit is the ability to prove damages and if Hunter (I assume) is losing business and suffering from other financial hardship and the people that are canceling the contracts, backing out of business deals etc. are naming what is going on in the news (where Fox is at the center of things) then that most important criteria is likely met.
The problem is there are other considerations such as: if the information is actually true, and if the information is false does it appear to be spread purely for malicious reasons. From what I can tell, Fox is only (or mostly) guilty of reporting factual information on a story is truly newsworthy, when the rest of mainstream media that has a pro-Democratic bias would rather turn a blind eye.
