A Manhattan federal court judge will decide by the end of this month whether to dismiss a defamation lawsuit Sarah Palin filed against the New York Times for accusing the former Alaska governor of inciting gun violence.
In the meantime, Judge Jed Rakoff suspended discovery, blocking Palin’s lawyers from grilling two dozen Times reporters to prove the Gray Lady is biased against her.
Clearly the judge recognized this as a fishing expedition and that the entire point of this case is to embarrass and bully the New York Times and its reporters.
I still think that this case will get thrown out, but if it doesn't I seriously doubt its outcome will prove satisfying to either Palin or her lawyers.
That's a great photo of her.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Shrieking Harpy
DeleteGoofus Ignoramus in full shriek
DeleteIt's really very kind of Gryphen to use an eight- or nine-year-old photo.
DeleteNow she'll have to come up with another way to scam people so she and her brood can live off the proceeds. Let's see, what can she do? Maybe a Nigerian prince scam? Or she can record robo calls for the IRS scam?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't she or her husband and children find meaningful employment? I thought Trump and his GOP have brought back jobs for everyone? Any coal mines in Alaska?
DeleteBeaglemom
After the 2008 election, Todd Palin said he'd 'always work.' But at what? He's been a purse-carrying toady. How's that look on a resume!
DeleteMeaningful employment requires meaningful skills. Except for Willow and hair stuff(I've heard), The Palins come up short in that department.
DeleteDoes Todd continue to profit from his old business? That would be tax free income. I find it hard to believe they are financially down.

Please, oh please...if the case gets thrown out does she have to pay the NY Times' legal fees-????
ReplyDeleteWild Tortoise
I sure hope the amoral ditz has to cover all court costs. She's nothing more than a parasitic lying opportunist living off OPM.
DeleteThat is generally up to the judge. The Times can request that she pay their legal fees and the judge may or may not grant their request.
DeleteI hope this 'try' costs her big bucks! She's a joke - just like Trump!
ReplyDeleteI have a caption for what her mouth and lips intends to do next .Never mind. Based on the savory look in her eyes. Must be with trump for this photo?

"it is with the House’s appropriations bill, which includes riders that would further pare back campaign finance rules that have already been decimated over the last decade, in large part through Supreme Court decisions such as Citizens United and McCutcheon v. FEC."
"The politicians behind these measures want to make sure the IRS never cracks down on the wealthy interest that are anonymously passing money through tax exempt non profit groups — groups that are only allowed to hide the names of their donors under the assumption that they won’t get involved in politics."allowing every trade association under the sun to receive money from a given corporation during that year."“Should this rider become law, these specialty PACs would be FREE to solicit donations from a drastically expanded pool of potential donors, and corporate executives would be permitted to give contributions to multiple trade associations, increasing the disparity between large-dollar donors and the vast majority of Americans,”

DeleteReporter says ‘Russian propaganda outlet’ pushed him to cover conspiracy theory at the center of a White House lawsuit
ReplyDelete...Feinberg said that during a meeting held on May 26, his superiors asked him bring up the story in the press briefing.
“It was, ‘We want you to ask about Seth Rich and just, you know, ask about the case and if those revelations should put an end to the Russia hacking narrative and the investigation,” said Feinberg.
According to Feinberg, his bosses handed him a termination letter when he declined. He described the situation as “disturbing.”
“It’s really telling that the White House is pushing the same narrative as a state-run Russian propaganda outlet,” Feinberg said.

Paul Krugman: Trump isn’t an aberration — he’s the logical conclusion of 40 years of conservative lies
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/paul-krugman-trump-isnt-an-aberration-hes-the-logical-conclusion-of-40-years-of-conservative-lies/
Anti-Trump Republicans love to claim Donald Trump is an aberration, a fake conservative destroying their ideals of individual liberty, small government and even smaller taxes with a cavalcade of lies. Conservative senators like Lindsey Graham and John McCain grandstanded last week about the GOP’s broken health care policy and the erosion of senatorial norms. But what these speeches conveniently ignore is that Republicans have been lying to their constituents for years.

Palin, or who she pays to run her Facebook, is more lazy than ever. The Sarah Palin writes 'Wow.' and next links to Trump Goes Bigger On Immigration Than Anyone Ever Expected' written by someone else. What a shame if she would bother to think and have a comment, anything that exerts energy. She can't even manage to do Facebook. Is she putting all her brain power into getting a fortune out of the Times? If she doesn't score they will need to put her on suicide watch.
ReplyDeleteI hope the person in charge of the suicide watch is not paying attention

You know Sarah is not paying for her lawyers out of her grubby old wrinkled hands.
Damn Sarah, your picture looks like your gagging on a mouthful of bad jism
ReplyDeleteThat needs to b done to all journalists though.
ReplyDeletejournalists are pussies who work for assholes. No integrity in journalism and never has had integrity. And with the advent of the internet, hate sites and hate blogs have become yellow journalism.
Mentally ill^
DeleteWould you feel the same way if the journalists were going after Hillary? Or Gryphon? Be honest, you know you'd be rooting for the reporters to bring out whatever dirt they could find.
DeleteThank God for journalists!!! Without them the goods would not have been spilled on The Don and his ilk!
DeleteTake a nap.
DeleteDon't worry dons and donettes, as soon as Sarah annihilates the NYT and has millions, billions to have her own paper, The Don will have his dream press and all will be well.

ReplyDelete"The American Civil Liberties Union thinks a defamation lawsuit filed by a coal industry titan against comedian John Oliver is a joke.
So the organization has filed an amicus brief for Oliver that is, frankly, hilarious while making the point that free speech is still protected by the First Amendment."
"The brief also directly addresses Murray with section headings like “All of John Oliver’s Speech Was Protected by the First Amendment. You Can’t Sue People for Being Mean to You, Bob”; “Plaintiff’s Requested Injunction Is Clearly Unconstitutional. You Can’t Get a Court Order Telling the Press How to Cover Stories, Bob”; and “Anyone Can Legally Say ‘Eat Shit, Bob!’”
The ACLU also argues the “case is about Murray not liking a television program and somehow believing that is a legally actionable offense,” adding, “apparently because [Murray’s] delicate sensibilities were offended, they clutched their pearls and filed this suit.”
The brief also explains that truth is a defense in defamation lawsuits and includes this photo to defend Oliver’s claim that, yes, Murray does look like a “geriatric Dr. Evil.” "
There is a link to the complete brief which is both astute and hilarious.
I hope the judge gets some good giggles before he dismisses Murray's case, maybe with some inspiration from Oliver and the ACLU.
