Today’s Rundown:
- JURY FINDS THE NEW YORK TIMES DID NOT LIBEL FORMER ALASKA GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN: A federal jury in Manhattan concluded that The New York Times did not defame former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in a 2017 editorial. The piece had erroneously linked Palin’s political action committee to a 2011 mass shooting involving Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. The Times issued a correction within hours, and the jury found no evidence of “actual malice,” the legal standard for libel involving public figures. This verdict marks Palin’s second unsuccessful attempt to sue the newspaper over the editorial.
