Sarah Palin’s Bid for New Libel Trial Against The Times Is Denied
New York TimesAPR 2022
Palin's trial was a farce. The jurors were clearly influenced by the judge's preemptive ruling, which tipped the scales in favor of the New York Times. She deserves to receive a fair trial with an unbiased judge.
Palin lost, but she can't give up the vendetta she and the far right of the GOP have against the Times. The precedent set in New York Times vs. Sullivan that set "actual malice" as the standard for defamation has stood for nearly 60 years - Palin must know there is no chance of a new trial without new evidence.
