    Judge says he'll dismiss Sarah Palin's libel suit against New York Times.
    ABC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 77% • 3 min read

    Sarah Palin, 58, sued The Times in 2017, roughly nine years after she was tapped to be Sen. John McCain's GOP vice presidential nominee, claiming the newspaper deliberately ruined her burgeoning career as a political commentator and consultant by publishing an erroneous editorial that defamed her.
    ...
    The Times' editorial board wrote on June 14, 2017, that prior to the 2011 Arizona mass shooting that killed six people, Palin’s political action committee had fueled a violent atmosphere by circulating a map that put the electoral districts of Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized crosshairs. Two days later, The Times published a correction.
    ...
    Without the jury present in court, Judge Jed Rakoff told the attorneys in the trial that he has decided to dismiss the case because Palin had not met the high standard of showing that The Times had acted with actual malice. Rakoff said the inevitable appeal would benefit from knowing how the jury deliberations turned out.

    If the Court rules against the Times, the media will have only themselves to blame.

Do you think Russia will invade Ukraine?

481 votes, 30 comments

Context: Fears of Russian invasion of Ukraine increase as Western citizens leave Ukraine.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Russia is set upon rebuilding its power, influence, and empire. Also foreign adventurism distracts the Russian people from domestic issues, and allows the government to push an "us vs. them" agenda that builds Russian self-reliance, and perpetuates the autocracy.


No - Putin is trying to keep distance between his capital city Moscow and the border of an anti-Russian alliance more than the measly 500 miles between him and the Ukrainian border. If Ukraine stays hard-head...
