The trial of sarah palan and her lawyers started earlier this month. They are trying to prove that the new york times published a falsehood with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity. The case is pretty close, because it's proven that james bennet didn't click on various things that would have allured him to this falsehood. Sara pelan was in the room, i believe, every day for the trialyes. And she eventually to stand too. She bombed,. i think, at every juncture.
The New York Times published an editorial that made false claims about Sarah Palin. A lawsuit over the error could change American media.
