Sarah Palin Sues New York Times For Defamation

Sarah Palin is filing a lawsuit against The New York Times for defamation, based on a June 14 op-ed the paper wrote. The lawsuit charges that the op-ed “falsely stated as a matter of fact to millions of people that Mrs. Palin incited Jared Loughner’s January 8, 2011 shooting rampage at a political event in Tucson, Arizona, during which he shot nineteen people, severely wounding United States Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and killing six, including Chief U.S. District Court Judge John Roll and a nine-year-old girl.”

There had been rumors of Palin filing a lawsuit; the Times had offered a correction of their story but no apology.

As Townhall noted, “An FBI investigation, whose findings were revealed last year, found that Jared Lee Loughner was a disturbed young man who may very well have been obsessed with Giffords. His social media postings suggested he was undergoing a ‘mental breakdown,’ The Arizona Republic reported. In conclusion, he was the sole author of the carnage.”

But the Times op-ed, which was referencing the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise, ignored the evidence and wrote:

Was this attack evidence of how vicious American politics has become? Probably. In 2011, when Jared Lee Loughner opened fire in a supermarket parking lot, grievously wounding Representative Gabby Giffords and killing six people, including a 9-year-old girl, the link to political incitement was clear. Before the shooting, Sarah Palin’s political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs. Conservatives and right-wing media were quick on Wednesday to demand forceful condemnation of hate speech and crimes by anti-Trump liberals. They’re right. Though there’s no sign of incitement as direct as in the Giffords attack, liberals should of course hold themselves to the same standard of decency that they ask of the right.



 
I dont see anything non factual. Palin did in fact run an ad like that. He didnt write that palin said to kill her or something.
 
Good. They are fake news. Hope she does and wins.

Here is how you know these goofs are fake. Look up a story you are an expert in. Then look at how liberal institutions report on it. It's always comically stupid. For example when they called pewdie pie a Nazi. Those dumb bastards vaccinated millions of youths against their dumbass liberal authoritarian propaganda. Anytime you know the truth just read how the news completely twists it. Progress snobs lie because they despise the common people and think they are to stupid to come to their own conclusions.

Libel, slander, and defamation suits are almost impossible to win if you're the one filing them.
 
Doesn't seem like a good case at all but curious what our lawyers think.
 
You guys are fucking insufferable. Society started a humble "fake news" resistance against unprincipled amateur sources posting outright lies to mislead and mobilize morons like yourselves (see: Hillary pedo pizza dungeon, Obama Kenyan birth, etc.) and you guys commandeer it to nitpick some of the most credible and professional sources in the world and discredit any bona fide facts that shatter your fragile willing misconceptions.

Fuck, this place is insufferable.

I don't want to comment on whether or not it might qualify as defamation because I'm very uneducated when it comes to those things but

"Though there’s no sign of incitement as direct as in the Giffords attack"

+ context clearly implies that Palin's ad incited a shooting, which is utter nonsense and quite a serious allegation.

see: Trump colluded with Russia

CNN is (very) fake news
 
Now, guys, please don't derail the thread.
We don't need to discuss things which are already well established (NYT being fake news), instead we can discuss Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit

That's some powerful projection there.

The murderer made it clear in interviews that he had NEVER seen Palin's advertisement and that, in fact, she had no influence on his crimes. It is easily provable that the NY Times knew for a fact that Palin had zero part, yet they smeared her name anyways. They lied, and they knew they lied about her. That is character assassination. That is Libel. That is Defamation of Character.

The case is a slam dunk. They would be smart to settle with her out of court or she will rape them like the lying little bitches they are in court and publicly. This is really bad for the NY Times.
 
I get 100% of my news off of poorly edited YouTube videos and sensational 4chan thread titles
I don't know why you keep autistically screeching about fake news, and are so ashamed to tell everyone where you get your news lol.
