Sarah Palin has lost to The New York Times.
Not once. But twice.
On Tuesday, a nine-person jury unanimously found that Palin did not prove the Times had defamed her in a 2017 editorial. And that came a day after the judge in the case said he was going to throw out the verdict no matter what the jury decided.
But it turns out, the jury saw the same thing that the judge did: Palin just couldn’t prove the Times acted with “actual malice” when it published a 2017 editorial that incorrectly linked the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords to a map circulated by Palin’s PAC that showed certain electoral districts under crosshairs.
