NEW YORK (AP) - An appeals court has revived a defamation lawsuit Sarah Palin brought against The New York Times.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals restored the lawsuit on Tuesday, saying Palin must be allowed to collect evidence to support her claims.

Still, it said Palin's burden of proof was high to show the Times acted with actual malice when it published an editorial titled "America's Lethal Politics" in 2017.

The onetime Republican vice presidential nominee sued over the editorial published after a gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers in Virginia, wounding U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise.

Such a mixed bag of news today;

Trump calling for the enlisting of social media to participate in red flag ops, Peter Strxsk suing Trump, Sarah Palin gets another shot at retribution and justice, El Paso massacre disappeared almost like it never happened ....

Just sayin'

[mass55th]

Whoa! Didn’t expect that. Good luck, and God Speed Sarah!!

[Reno89519]

“El Paso massacre disappeared almost like it never happened ....” — What? It is all they are talking about.

[Frank_2001]

Every word printed in that abominable rag is written with actual malice, including “The” “New” “York” “Times”!!!

“a gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers in Virginia, wounding U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise.”

should be:

“a deranged, Bernie Sanders supporting, extremist, leftist gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers in Virginia, wounding U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise.”

Strozk isn’t suing Trump, he’s suing Barr and Wray. For what he says is being illegally fired. There’s no bad news in this pathetic attempt:

And all the dumbasses who were crapping their pants yesterday about how Wray was welcoming Strozk back to the FBI have a little bit of crow to eat today. He was there to frickin’ SUE THEM!

Any day with Trump as Potus and MAGA is a good news day.

They’ve had plenty of time to shred, to bleachbit

I realized after I posted I had attributed the wrong target .... it’s to laugh (I want to think) but we’ll have to see the outcome .... a bunch o crap is happening very quickly and in stacato.

I just started hearing it again this afternoon. ....

I can't find the vlog, but I got a clip in my FB from a guy that says he has a friend in the El Paso PD and that there are 5 or 6 victims (still on scene?), with no heads ... clean head shots from high power rifle .... and NO ONE believes that ivy league lookin kid is the shooter .... captured without a shot fired and co-operating ? ..............

When do cops confront an armed murderer without lighting him up ?

Here is a pretty feel-good headline also More than 2,000 university professors left with uncertain future

Same pub as the Sarah story.

LET’S HEAR IT FOR JUSTICE 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸. Palin v. NYT Congratulations to all Americans seeking to hold the press accountable! In my case against the NYT, the appellate court reversed the trial judge, vacated the judgment, and remanded it to proceed into discovery. This is great! It has taken a while, but we finally see some justice here. Special thanks to my attorneys who are stand-up, good people who won’t settle for anything but justice for the people. “This is—and has always been—a case about media accountability,” attorneys Kenneth Turkel and Elizabeth Locke said. “We look forward to starting discovery and ultimately proceeding to trial.” Media sure rubbed it in when it looked like my suit would go nowhere, but by the grace of God, great attorneys, and a right cause, we march on. Think media will cover today’s victory? - Sarah Palin
