From the NYP article:

-----

For Palin to win, her lawyers can’t just prove the Times was wrong, which the paper has already said it was. She must show that the editors and writers at the paper acted with malice, ignoring the facts on purpose to sully her name.

Erik Wemple of the Washington Post said the case, in which the ex-gov is seeking damages, “will help demarcate the line between really bad journalism and libelous journalism.”

-----

I'd be surprised if she won because it seems to me more like very sloppy journalism than outright malice, but who knows. Maybe her lawyers have a smoking gun we haven't seen yet. Maybe the jury will use the case to send a message that sloppy journalism is just as bad as purposely printing lies. Should be good entertainment in any case.

* Everyone is looking for free money. Take this woman who got some Money from Alex Baldwin because a relative or hers died in Afghanistan- Alex found put later she was at the Capitol marching- next thing you know, she is suing from for $25 million.

Don't tell half-truths, noise-goat. Alec Bald-lose found out she was present in DC during the protest and made sure his social media followers harassed her. She was not a rioter illegally entering buildings.

I know people wish his old a55 would just die already. Problem is, neither God nor the Devil want him!

Oh boy, a loser from the "Masked Singer" is trying to get another five minutes of fame. Will she sue SNL for their " I can see Russia from my house" parody if this lawsuit fails?
