Libel

1. “Megan Fox is a man!” Headline on Weekly World News Web site
No because everyone knows it's false, it doesn't hurt her career, and there is no actual malice.

2. “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.
No because he's dead

3. “In my opinion, Kevin is a murdering rapist,” the prosecutor told the jury.
No, because it's opinion in a court of law

4. "In my opinion, he's a murdering rapist," the man said at the rally.
Yes, because it's provable therefore not an opinion
