Federal judge tosses defamation lawsuit against Bill O'Reilly and Fox News
-
Former Fox News producer Rachel Witlieb Bernstein, one of a half-dozen women who settled with O'Reilly over sexual misconduct allegations, had sued claiming his comments to The New York Times two years ago that he was the subject to a "smear campaign" amounted to defamation. A federal judge dismissed her lawsuit on Tuesday, calling her claims "nonsense."
