Politico, the establishment media outlet that ran a now-debunked headline calling the reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop, produced in the waning weeks of the 2020 presidential election, "Russian disinfo," published a headline on the eve of the worldwide launch of My Son Hunter, calling the movie "a sign of the political wars to come."

Under the headline "The new, Breitbart-produced Hunter Biden film is a sign of the political wars to come," Alex Thompson wrote:

The new film produced by the conservative media empire Breitbart and released today had its first public viewing last Wednesday night at a small screening room inside a nondescript office building on South Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles.

"My Son Hunter" is the most ambitious Hunter Biden project to date. The film was financed by $2.5 million in crowdfunding, according to McAleer. It features experienced performers, including British actor Laurence Fox and "The Mandalorian" actress Gina Carano — both known for being outspoken conservatives — along with John James, who is best known for his role in "Dynasty."

Some sketches of the Bidens are well-researched — taken from both their memoirs and reports derived from the hard drive — while other sections are sloppy. In one scene, Beau Biden's widow, Hallie, is repeatedly called "Hailey."
