After a delay of more than a week due to the plaintiff's having tested positive for Covid-19, attorneys finally gave opening statements in former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times on Thursday.
The lawsuit centers around an editorial that the Times published in June 2017, shortly after a shooting that left Republican Congressman Steve Scalise wounded.The piece, entitled"America's Lethal Politics" discussed the shooting that wounded Scalise, as well as the 2011 shooting that left former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords wounded and six others dead.
"The corrections here didn't fix this," Vogt said."Most of all they didn't apologize. That's because the New York Times has a policy against apologies. Because they think that they can do whatever they want. Because they're the New York Times."David Axelrod, an attorney for the Times, said in his opening remarks that the paper did apologize and corrected the editorial"the very next morning.
