Sarah Palin is gearing up for a retrial in her lawsuit against The New York Times for libel in an editorial from 2017. The former vice presidential candidate claims that the editorial falsely linked her campaign rhetoric to a mass shooting, damaging her reputation and career. The Times admitted the inaccuracy of the editorial but stated it was an “honest mistake” that was quickly corrected.
The retrial, scheduled to last a week, was granted after the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals restored the case due to flaws in the previous trial, including erroneous exclusion of evidence and inaccurate jury instructions.
This retrial comes amidst a backdrop of increased hostility towards media outlets by public figures like former President Donald Trump, who has also been involved in lawsuits against news organizations. Palin’s lawyer and a spokesperson for The New York Times have both expressed confidence in their positions for the upcoming trial. The outcome of this retrial will have significant implications for both Palin and the media industry as a whole.
