Full title: Gregg Jarrett: Sarah Palin vs. the New York Times -- Five reasons why ex-governor might just win her case
Sarah Palin is suing the New York Times, the once-storied newspaper that still brags it publishes “all the news that’s fit to print.” It does not.
Palin correctly accuses the Times of defamation by blaming her in an editorial for the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of six people. Specifically, editorialists claimed Palin’s political action committee incited the violence. The Times asserted the cause or link was “clear” and “direct.”
Such a link has never been established, and all known evidence confirms the opposite. Which may suggest that the editorial page of the Times is populated by well-educated fools.
Here is a legal look at the merits of the Palin lawsuit.
1.) WAIT… DON’T GROAN!
I always groan when a celebrity or politician sues for defamation. Good luck with that. Ever since the landmark case of New York Times v. Sullivan, it has been nearly impossible for public figures to win, even though their good names have been roundly trashed by certain mendacious news organizations (which, I realize, is redundant).

OK,Virginia vs wherever Rolling Stone is headquartered...NYC,California,etc.I'd bet everything I own that Governor Palin would lose if the trial occurs in Manhattan,where the Slimes is obviously headquartered.Elsewhere may well be a different story.
Palin’s lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York.

I’m obviously not a lawyer, but don’t you have to prove you’ve been damaged? I suspect the NYT can easily produce a thousand surveys of thousands of people who already believe Sarah Palin is a dangerous, hateful, idiot. This article hasn’t changed their beliefs one bit. Conversely, anyone who knows Sarah hasn’t had their beliefs changed either. So really... with which people has she been damaged?
OK....well,I hope I'm wrong.Although I'm not 100% sure exactly from where the jurors will come (NY,NJ and/or CT?) for those who don't know the people of that region (referred to as the "Tri-State Area") I can assure them that they're every bit as despicable as they're made out to be.It'll be damn difficult for her lawyers to get a jury that doesn't hate her guts.
New York county is Manhattan....disgustingly leftist.Bronx County,ditto.Westchester...limousine liberals,the Clintons live there.I think the others are north of Westchester...unsure how they are politically/socially/philosophically but I'll bet they're largely leftist.
The Times’ motto should be, “all the news that fits our agenda, we print.”
They lied. Period. And their lies directley defamed Palin’s name and character. And they knew it when they printed it.

Palin ‘won’ the moment she decided to take them on...
