Seth Rich: judge dismisses lawsuit over Fox News story on DNC staffer's death
[Guardian] A lawsuit brought against Fox News by the parents of a Democratic National Committee employee killed in 2016 was dismissed Thursday by a judge who said it lacked the detail necessary to proceed to trial.

The US district judge George Daniels said the lawsuit brought by Seth Rich’s parents required specific instances of wrongdoing by the defendants to survive.

The lawsuit claimed Fox News turned Seth’s death into a "political football" by claiming he had leaked DNC emails to Wikileaks during the presidential campaign.

The network removed the story a week after it was posted, saying it was not initially subjected to its "high degree of editorial scrutiny".

Maybe they were reporting that KimDotCom said that Seth Rich provided him with these emails.

#2 Fox News was just saying what was on everyone's mind. No need to sue the messenger. Unless you're turning your son's death into a financial football.

#3 Funny how this story has just vanished from any view. Is there any definitive description of what the investigation uncovered?

#4 Not funny at all.

The new Mueller indictments should definitively put the Seth Rich conspiracy to rest

#5 Those indictments against Russiam GRU officers who will never come to court, based on the forensic examination of DNC computers the FBU never examined?
