The 57-year-old Republican accused the Times of "trying to score political points," calling the newspaper "the be-all, end all, the loud voice in American media" and likening it to the biblical figure Goliath and herself to David. Bennet said he never intended to blame Palin or her political action committee for the disputed editorial, headlined "America's Lethal Politics," which addressed gun control and the growth of incendiary political rhetoric.
There is no evidence Loughner had a political motive and the Times corrected the editorial the next day. Under cross-examination by the Times lawyer David Axelrod, Palin acknowledged that the symbols on the map look like cross hairs, but also resembled surveyor markings.The Times has also tried to show that Palin suffered no harm. Axelrod asked many questions to show Palin retained a prominent public profile and had multiple sources of income, including from four books.
Palin also said she and her family in 2011 received death threats after people including the media started wrongly connecting her to the Arizona attack, but did not sue because she wanted to focus on victims and not politicize the tragedy.Palin has signaled that if she loses at trial, she will on appeal challenge New York Times v Sullivan, the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision that established the actual malice standard.
