I heard a quick comment on this today on the Howie Carr show,Howie being a big time Trump supporter in Boston (yup,Boston).

His guest said that the fact that the Slimes "corrected" the claim as fast as they did would mean that under the law she couldn't have been very seriously harmed.

Of course that's just one opinion.

I know you’re just the messenger, but it wasn’t “corrected” before people read it.
Plus it was done deliberately to hurt Palin.
The NYT probably only “corrected” it after their lawyers told them that Palin could sue their pants off. I hope she wins.

I’m sure most Freeper lawyers would agree with Carr on that. Since this story hit the news a while back, I suggested that it would be very, very hard for Palin to make the case against the NYT. Libel and slander cases are very hard to prove under normal circumstances, and a person who is a “public figure” has an even higher burden of proof.

It may be possible to argue that there is a pattern of false stories about conservatives that are later followed by retractions that many readers never see so the retraction is meaningless and the damage is done. I don’t know. I hope she prevails against these commies.
