quote:

CNN’s Jake Tapper sent out a tweet containing a copy of the lawsuit. Palin was named in a New York Times editorial on June 14th, connecting her to the shooting of Gabby Giffords by Jared Loughner.

The New York Times, after a flurry of criticism, issued a correction to the editorial but by that time, the damage had been done and even in its’ corrected form, it still used the Giffords shooting as means of equivocating her shooting with that of Steve Scalise. The problem is that Giffords shooting had nothing to do with politics at all. Jared Loughner is a paranoid schizophrenic who became obsessed with Giffords after she refused to answer a bizarre question he asked at a previous town hall meeting.


Gonna be "Momma Grizly Times" after she done...

Good for her. NYT will settle to keep this from going to trial.

Hope she doesn't settle and takes them to the cleaners.

They need to be taken down quite a few notches.

They can try but I hope Sarah doesn't take it. They and their completely lack of journalistic ethics and integrity need to be called out on their bullshite in a court of law.

Linking the Sarah Palin map to the Gabby Gifford's shooting is stupid, and inexcusable so many years later, but I don't think there is a much of a defamation case from my completely non-attorney perspective. It seems like there is a high bar to meet, but it's still bad press for the editorial board nonetheless.

Let it burn.

An honest media is very important to our Republic.

There needs to be consequences for their abandonment of principles in the name of advocacy so that they might return to their role as watchdogs rather than lap dogs.

They wish. Sarah aint no flake; she might make a settlement so high that it forces them into court.

There is a high bar, but she will be able to meet it here.

Published it knowing it was false and with reckless disregard for the truth.

If anyone wants to know what might happen here just check out how many times the university of Virginia has sued and won against false information published by the rolling stones.


The courts need to make an example of the NYT. They need to slam them with a huge suit.

Again. They messed up here, but I don't think those two cases are at all comparable. In other words, the Rolling Stones case was in a whole other realm of journalistic malfeasance and editorial incompetence.
