I’m guessing he’s covered by the NYT insurance, while the reporter may not be, or not as well covered.

Within the past couple of days I read something on FR that was not very becoming about Business Insider. Should we be more careful about posting links to Business Insider???

Too bad the trial isn’t being held in the USA.

Thanks. That is what I recalled reading. I will make a point of commenting when I see BI posted on FR.

Thanks for the clarification. The MSM still has not made such a correction.

Not sure about The Slimes making money. The New York Times narrowed money, $250 million from Carlos Slim to stay afloat on 2009. I think he still owns a chunk.

The Times is probably covered by liability insurance, but after paying off Sandman and now Palin the liability insurance may get a lot more pensive. Rittenhouse maybe waiting in the wings.

I’m Sue there is quite a monetary reward somewhere for him. Take the fall. We’ll offer a settlement with and NDA and we’ll put this all behind us.

Now she can go after him personally.

I’m betting they left that part out.

“I don’t see that it matters. The thug was in the employ of the leftist rag, the rag made insufficient effort to rein in its thug. The rag is liable.”

Even more. The rag put that thug in a position of trust and let him abuse that authority, including a deliberate policy of refusing to take remedial action.

That’s what killed the Boy Scouts...

This clown was the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic until 2016. Seriously, does it get any more Leftist than that? This irrational hatred for all things conservative is in his DNA. No doubt, he’s an avowed Alinskyite.

The NYT printed it for the sole reason of destroying Palin.

Bennett is a vicious leftist psychopath. Worse, nastiest editor of a major paper I’ve ever seen, and the competition was tough for that spot.

Regardless of him falling on his sword, he was a principal of the company which knowingly allowed him the power to do what he did. NYT is liable and should pay the damages.
