Sarah Palin, a Republican former vice presidential candidate, unsuccessfully sued the New York Times (Adam Bettcher)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. The decision reaffirms an important tenet of American law: publishers are not liable for honest mistakes," a New York Times spokeswoman said in a statement. Palin, a former governor of Alaska, was the running mate of Republican presidential candidate John McCain during his 2008 election defeat to Barack Obama. "We didn't prevail in federal court against The New York Times. I'll keep asking the press to quit making things up," Palin wrote on X after the jury verdict in a Manhattan federal court.
