    Judge throws out Palin libel case against New York Times
    https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/14/palin-new-york-times-judge-ruling-00008719

    A judge has ruled that a libel lawsuit former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin filed against the New York Times over a 2017 editorial should be thrown out because her lawyers failed to produce evidence that the newspaper knew what it wrote about her was false or acted recklessly towards indications it was false.

    The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Jed Rakoff came as a Manhattan jury was deliberating on Palin’s suit, which claimed the Times defamed her by unfairly linking her to a 2011 shooting spree in Arizona that killed six people and gravely wounded then-Rep. Gabby Giffords.

    Rakoff said he would continue to allow the jury to deliberate to a verdict and added that he considers an appeal in the case to be inevitable.

    GQP cultists need to stop hitching their wagon to triple losers (adding McCain's loss here as well)

    So, an extreme liberal judge throws out Sarah Palin's case even before the jury can decide on it? Shows utter bias. One day, you GWB and our other ET trolls would be in a US court and wish you had a fair judge and a fair jury. Good luck with that. It would be karmic retribution for your vile hate for those decent human beings like Sarah Palin who is atleast, 10 times better than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris or even Joe Biden. She served Alaskans well during her term. Too bad, extreme liberals were bleeding Alaskan coffers with their numerous, frivolous lawsuits to harass her. She decided to resign to prevent the waste of Alaska's tax dollars defending against such bogus lawsuits. Extreme liberal idiots doing the same thing to President Donald Trump even to this day. Karma will hit them in due time.

    Palin had a fair judge and a fair jury. Both decided her case had no merit whatsoever.
