The retrial of Sarah Palin's years-long defamation case against The New York Times began anew in Manhattan. Palin, who sued the newspaper in 2017 over an editorial that improperly connected her campaign's language to a mass shooting, is challenging previous rulings against her. The case's core question revolves around whether The Times demonstrated actual malice when publishing the erroneous claim. The editorial in question, published after a congressional baseball shooting, incorrectly linked Palin's political map to violent incidents, highlighting the evolving media landscape and the implications of defamation in a politically charged environment.
