Tucker Carlson shares pic from Daily Mail of Hunter Biden with "prostitutes" taken from laptop; only succeeds in making Hunter look way cooler

Holy shit, you're right.
The girl on the left isn't even topless in the actual photo. Her top is still in place. They censored to make it look raunchier.
The sacred act of sexual intercourse is what my wife reluctantly does to me once a year on my birthday, not something to be glorified or celebrated. Having a massive hog is, frankly, against everything this great country stands for.
Yep yep yep. It's ridiculous that they think anybody is fooled by their sanctimonious rhetoric. They hate that sex workers profit off of their work and have safe avenues to pursue sex work. Anything to stomp down on those they feel are lesser than them.
Yep, it's turtles* all the way down.
* Translator's note: "turtles" means hypocrisy
Again. No Federal laws about that. So broadcasting it is fine from a legal standpoint.
"Is Hunter Biden corrupting our nation's youth through his Tiktok antics? To find out, I talked to the child I'm grooming in a Fox News exclusive interview."
That's the weird thing. They blurred clothes... they're clearly not having actual sex
So they blurred the clothes to make it look more salacious. That's how they could get away with it. They can just point to the original photo and say "see? Not sex."
State laws would apply, right? At least for wherever they're broadcasting from (New York, I believe), as I understand it?
Although I think revenge porn laws might be written more to get the ex who uploads the pics rather than the company that hosts/broadcasts them. I dunno, IANAL.
public figure, newsworth, he already admitted to the stuff, etc.
basically fox gets to hide behind freedom of the press. as "news"
Squirtle gets everyone wet.
You forgot the main point: different legal system for rich white men.
FYI that's not why. There doesn't "need to be a law," common law exists in the US and there are privacy torts. Its a civil wrong and not criminal though. Revenge Porns can make it criminal
Here is the restatement (not actual law but persuasive authority which many states have made law or the courts have judicially created)
Not really. (discussed these torts and many cases in law school)
Not that I think conservatives have a brain cell to begin with, but I still can't figure out what the end game is. It's like they thought they found the smoking gun, but really no one cares except for their idiotic base that was already on their side anyway.
No, that's not of public interest.
Biden's not "revenge porn" its about his behavior as "the son of the president" and isn't just posting pictures for pictures sake and again.
Its funny because we literally tackled right to privacy in my entertainment law class on tuesday...
For example you can't go stalk a celebrity and climb their fence and take a nude photo and publish them. But if you're given a photo of the president or another public figure whose put them out there as a god fearing christian and they're out cheating with their mistress you can publish that. and again. this isn't porn. they're clothed
These kinds of laws has always been such bullshit. "Legitimate concern to the public" yeah fuck off.

Again these are narrow and not as broad as I think you're thinking they are. An actual nude photo would likely not pass muster. This isn't nude. They're clothed. There's very little newsworthy about a nude photo. But a photo of philanderous son of the president, again clothed, in mock sex photos, after going on national tv to speak to these things is arguable since the first amendment exists.
Again this would absolutely be actionable for some random person or even most celebrities (they know the streisand effect exists though and that the internet is impossible to scrub ). This is a very bizzare case. And hunter might even have a case, but he's clearly choosing to stay away from this and let it pass.
Newscorp (Fox and the Post) are clearly pushing. I'm not saying its right or even that they'd win just what the law says and what they'll argue (they also might have a valid defense he impliedly consent)

I mean yes? She published those herself didn't she? I'm not sure CNN's advertisers would like that though
Hunter is kind of embarrassing with this messy shit, hookers and blow and meth, but if you think about it, this is how you want your rich failsons and faildaughters to act. Imagine if Hunter Biden went the Meghan McCain route, except he was spewing neoliberalism all the time on national TV instead of neoconservatism. Yuck.
This was like when they broke that story about the Californian member of the House who had pictures surface of her nude hitting a bong and kissing a woman. I was like "OK, so?". Shame she quit. I hope Hunter Biden sues. There's no reason for Fox to blue the images and air these except to try and smear him - and he's not even a public official. He's just the president's son.
I'm just going to assume that it did proceed to sex at some point. Three grown up, half naked people in bed not having sex in front of a giant squirtle plushie and a dog is way too weird. A sentence I didn't ever expect to write.
The entire Hunter Biden saga has been both gross and pathetic from the start. And by that I'm referring to the conservatives pushing it, not Hunter. It's also poorly conceived. It never sticks because Hunter isn't - shocker - actually a public person. He doesn't hold office. He doesn't represent anyone but himself. He just happens to be the son of the president.
And I think people actually get that. That's why these attempts to manufacture scandal keeps failing to stick to Joe. Hunter is a deadbeat son by all accounts but he's hardly the first, and attempting to blame his drug problem on Joe is all kinds of stupid in a country suffering through an opioid epidemic. It arguably makes Joe more sympathetic to a lot of people.
The only people who seem to care at all are the conservatives so deep into the "bitch eating crackers" mentality that they also believe that Joe is a dementia-suffering puppet who's a strong breeze away from the care home.
