Sarah Palin, a Republican former vice presidential candidate, unsuccessfully sued the New York Times AFP A US jury found Tuesday that The New York Times did not libel former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a 2017 editorial she claimed damaged her reputation, the paper said. In its editorial the Times linked a 2011 shooting in Arizona that killed six people and wounded lawmaker Gabby Giffords with an advertisement run by Palin's political action committee. The ad, which ran shortly before the attack, showed Gifford's congressional district in the crosshairs of a firearm.
