Seen this discourse pop up again, claiming boys are getting more conservative while girls are being more liberal. Right wing cope is that women, with their weak female minds, are more susceptible to being communists unlike the Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings boys.

Related is this picture popping up a lot reinforcing the conservative belief that all that's needed to stop the college protests is a bunch of 'frat boys' to keep those entitled leftist brats in line.

Fox News Rushes to Do Damage Control After Hunter Biden Lawsuit

"Fox News has quietly pulled The Trial of Hunter Biden, a six-part “mock trial” of Hunter Biden, from its digital streaming service, signaling that the company is taking the “imminently” arriving lawsuit announced by the president’s son more seriously than it had initially let on."

"The letter also accused the network of knowing that nude images it circulated of Biden, allegedly taken from his laptop, were “hacked, stolen, and/or manipulated digital material” but continuing to publish them regardless, despite multiple state laws banning such acts under the umbrella of revenge porn."

"In a statement issued Tuesday to CNN, Fox claimed that it had taken down the explicit miniseries simply out of “an abundance of caution” while it reviewed the letter. Still, handing Biden’s legal team exactly what they wanted is a far cry from the defiant counter statement shared by Fox just hours earlier that insisted the company had accurately covered relevant events pertaining to Biden, including investigations by the Department of Justice and Congress and indictments by U.S. attorney’s offices.

“Hunter Biden’s lawyers have belatedly chosen to publicly attack Fox News’ constitutionally protected coverage regarding their client,” a spokesperson for the network told The New Republic. “Mr. Biden is a public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the Department of Justice and Congress, has been indicted by two different US Attorney’s Offices in California and Delaware, and has admitted to multiple incidents of wrongdoing. 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.”"

lol the charitable explanation, coming from that side no less, is that the data was stolen. Because the actual explanation (hacked by foreign actors from a cloud backup) is worse.

I find it an interesting and sadly smart move that Fox made by issuing that statement to CNN rather than doing it themselves. They know drat near none of their viewers are going to hear any statement about anything from CNN.

This explanation is entertaining to me. A computer repair guy

1. Looked at very unnecessary files and folders
2. Knowingly and intentionally opened said files
3. What you said
4. Told people about it

That is the world's worst computer repair guy. As in "how did you not end up in the slammer a long time ago" bad. You only go to step 1.5 (the thumbnails are a good enough reason to call the police) when it's very obvious, very illegal poo poo.

Literal child, Chelsea Clinton. It's what initially turned me against the right wing. I wasn't super political but I was in my late teens during the Clinton years. Seeing how ghoulishly they went after an actual child made me realize they were the bad guys.

You have to go to court in Delaware to acquire title to abandoned property, which involves an attempt to reach its original owner, so no it was just straight stolen. Also the property has to be abandoned for a year so again, conversion considering the repair guy had it for alegedly less than a year. Its legally just conversion to do it the way they did.
