Sarah Palin wants jurors to be barred from seeing footage of her appearance on “The Masked Singer” in her defamation case against the New York Times that may go to trial in the coming weeks.

[mcenedo]

Shouldn't any "evidence" not related to the Times false and malicious charges, be automatically excluded?

I’ve only seen commercials for that show but it looks demonic.

We've been thru a year of the masked president and still nobody can guess who is telling him what to do.

One does have to ask "Why, Sarah? Just why?"

[Reily]

Probably $$$ !
She likely needs the money.

Next they will want to show her singing karaoke...

I think stupid & immature is a beter description.

[Pollard]

More like moronic and something straight out of china. My soon to be ex-wife watches it.

[Poison Pill]

Network television is a dumpster fire. Can’t say I’m surprised to see her there.

If she wants money, she should have run against that dried scab Murkowski. I hear it pays about $175K.

Baby Got Back!!

[mcenedo]

I hope she scores big $$ with the NYSlimes.

[corkoman]

I’m so confused.

[Darksheare]

In a reasonable logical world, yes.
But this is clownworld.
Honk honk.

[jdsteel]

Yes.

Here’s the background:

Absolutely. It’s nonsense to allow any “evidence” that occurred after the article written by the Times that is the basis of the suit. It has no probative value whatsoever and is definitely intended to prejudice and confuse the jury.

Unless the Slimes is claiming that their reporters engage in time travel to gather news.

[mcenedo]

There was “sufficient evidence to allow a rational finder of fact to find actual malice by clear and convincing evidence," Judge Jed S. Rakoff of Federal District Court in Manhattan determined.

Sounds guilty as hell to me. Is a trial realy needed?

I’ve not seen the American version of “Masked Singer”. My wife and I do watch the Korean version on KBS which I believe is the original of this genre. It is quite popular and some of the singers are excellent. Many, if not not most, are celebrities, actors, entertainment personalities and sometimes athletes. In interviews after their appearances (unmasked) many say wearing the mask while singing gives them a freedom to sing without fear. I have seen nothing on the Korean show to indicate any hint of demonic influence. I’m curious why you think the US ads for this show appear to you to be demonic. Given US TV proclivites, you may well be right.
