Saying that Palin incited violence that ultimately lead to the 2011 shooting of Arizona representative Gabby Giffords, NYT stated on June 14, 2017 that Palin’s “political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Gifford and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs.”
The defamation lawsuit was filed on Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan.
Gregg Jarrett of Fox News goes on to give five reasons why the ex-governor might just win her case.
Fox News reports:
Palin correctly accuses the Times of defamation by blaming her in an editorial for the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of six people. Specifically, editorialists claimed Palin’s political action committee incited the violence. The Times asserted the cause or link was “clear” and “direct.”
Such a link has never been established, and all known evidence confirms the opposite. Which may suggest that the editorial page of the Times is populated by well-educated fools.
I wake up every morning to the New York Times. Wouldn’t miss it. I need a good laugh to start off my day. The Times never disappoints.
And by the way, my above-stated reference to idiots and morons is not defamatory. Because truth is a defense to defamation.
