JUST IN: Sarah Palin has lost her libel lawsuit against the New York Times. A jury rejected her claim the paper maliciously damaged her reputation with an editorial linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting.
maliciously damaged her reputation with an editorial linking her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting.
In the editorial, the Times blamed overheated political rhetoric. It likened the shooting to a 2011 massacre in Arizona that left six dead and former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords severely wounded, and said Palin’s political action committee had contributed to an atmosphere of violence at the time by circulating a map of electoral districts that put Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized crosshairs.
“It was devastating to read a false accusation that I had anything to do with murder,” Palin said. “I felt powerless – that I was up against Goliath. .. I was David.” It was an uphill battle for Palin: The jury had to decide whether former Times editorial page editor James Bennet acted with “actual malice” against a public figure or with “reckless disregard” for the truth when he inserted the disputed wording into the piece.
