Libel

1. “Up until the day he died, he was a brilliant writer. But the drugs made him a thief, a pimp and a liar,” said friend Karen Smith, who was with Johnson at the time of his death.
-This is not libel because it is not published, and is a persons thought. Libel is written.


2. “Megan Fox is a man!” Headline on Weekly World News Web site
This is libel because it is a written statement that is a negative source of news for the person its about.


3. “In my opinion, Kevin is a murdering rapist.”
- Not libel because its an opinion and the person saying it states that, its not published.
