Sarah Palin’s libel case against New York Times opens in Manhattan courtroom, a culture clash with lasting legal potential washingtonpost.com/media/2022/02/…

“Reckless disregard” NYT v. Sullivan (1964) was the second part of “actual malice” and is why @nytimes will lose and @SarahPalinUSA will win.

Issue is targets on congressional districts, Not representatives or people.

@nytopinion not bothering to check the Times’ own supposedly factual reporting re the exact factual issue is clearly “reckless disregard as to whether it was false or not.” Sullivan (1964)

WaPo should know this.
