Breitbart: On Tuesday evening, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin hired Hulk Hogan’s lawyers and sued the New York Times for defamation for falsely accusing her in a June 14 editorial of inciting Jared Lee Loughner to shoot Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ). The Times’ editorial was published on the day that James Hodgkinson shot House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) while he was practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game with his GOP teammates.
“Today, Sarah Palin took a stand against The New York Times Company by filing a lawsuit which seeks to hold The Times accountable for stating that Governor Palin is part of a ‘sickeningly familiar pattern’ of politically motivated violence and that she incited the horrific 2011 shooting of Representative Gabby Giffords, a tragedy where the gunman seriously wounded numerous people and killed 6, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl,” Palin’s lawyers—Ken Turkel, Shane Vogt, and S. Preston Ricardo—said in a statement.
The complaint, filed in Manhattan federal court, states that “at the time of publication, The Times knew and had published pieces acknowledging that there was no connection between Mrs. Palin and Loughner’s 2011 shooting.”
“In doing so, The Times violated the law and its own policies,” it reads.
While she’s not on my favorites list? The media has phucked her three ways to Sunday and I hope she rapes the smug bastards.👏
Good luck! Sadly, the failing New York Times, Inc. is only worth about a dollar now.
About time she acted on this. I guess she waited for the pendulum to swing, and it’s swinging big time lately. The rats are scurrying for cover.
Hope they have to liquidate, right down to every pen and pencil, in order to pay her off. Maybe one of these days we’ll be reading The Palin Times.
Take a few more floors off the top Sarah!

It’s been 6 years…. Good luck!
The June 14, 2017 edition of the NY Times was 2 weeks ago, NOT 6 years ago.
Anonymous—what the heck are you talking about?
Anonymous: The Times printed the smear again after the ballpark shooting some weeks ago.
I wish her all the best
Wish her the best too ! BTW she’s still a fine looking woman ! If that’s sexist, tough shit !
Sarah, you go, girl. I hope you bankrupt them.
Elections have consequences.
This looks like a slam dunk. Watch for Editorial “departures” as NYT tries to CYA.
The unintended consequences for the libs have just begun.
Sue them out of business. They don’t deserve to survive going as far back as supporting Hitler. It’;s been downhill ever since. Hang down your heads Sulzbooger and Carlos Slime.
Gray Lady Down.
And I am going to file this right here in the folder titled . . .
