A federal judge announced Monday afternoon he would dismiss former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, saying her legal team had failed to reach the high standards required for public figures to make their case.

The case centered on a June 2017 Times editorial that Palin's attorneys argued accused her of inciting murder six years earlier in a mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona that also gravely wounded then Rep. Gabby Giffords.

The New York Times's legal teams argued she had not shown that the paper or its former editorial page editor, James Bennet, had been motivated by "actual malice," in which he would have had to known his characterization was false or that he would have known the probability of it being false was so great as to mean that he was acting with reckless indifference to the facts. https://n.pr/3rOQFiJ
