It makes me angry that these guys will no doubt get away with their lies because they’re the “press”. A very loose term for what they really are!

"What I wasn't trying to say was that there was a direct causal link between this map and the shooting"
That's precisely what you were trying to say.

This should sink the NYT:

“Bennet said that he became extremely concerned about the content of the editorial late on the night of June 14, after seeing criticisms of it on social media, and spent the early hours of June 15 frantically attempting to have his team determine whether a connection between the Palin PAC and the shooter’s motives actually existed.”

So, he admits publishing something with no idea whether it was true, then trying in vain to find something to support the NYT’s allegations. That would seem to be a textbook example of reckless disregard of the truth that would make a newspaper liable to a public figure for defamation.

Bennet’s name does not appear on the list I took from a FR entry some time ago:

From: “Saved by Windows Internet Explorer 9”
Subject: JournoList: 146 Names Confirmed (with News Organizations)
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 10:09:20 -0700

This guy was actually an editor at The Atlantic at the time of the shooting. You know, The Atlantic, former home of blogger Andrew Sullivan, he of the obsession with Palin’s uterus and Trig’s parentage. That one.

Then he moved from that Palin-attacking rag to the NYT Palin-attacking rag.

The actual writer of the editorial did not testify. She must not be as smooth of a liar as he, so he testified in her stead.

/cynicism meter off now

Agree.
This left wing nut is full of crap.
But you never know what’s going to happen when a judge gets involved in making decisions. A vast majority of judges are as left wing as media and the democrats.

I figured this guy needed to be painted with a broad brush as being part of the LSM cabal.

Thanks for looking him up.
