Jul 22, 2024, 05:31 PM

Fox News Media and its parent company, Fox Corp, have secured a legal victory with the dismissal of a defamation lawsuit filed by Nina Jankowicz, a former Biden administration official. The federal court ruled that the criticism directed at Jankowicz was considered opinion, not defamation. Jankowicz had accused Fox News of defaming her by labeling her as a proponent of censorship. Fox News Media expressed satisfaction with the court's decision, describing the lawsuit as 'politically motivated' and an attempt to silence free speech.
