Palin is suing the NYT over an editorial, which gave incorrect information about her. They published a retraction just hours after the editorial came out, and she has not claimed any monetary loss as a result, but is moving forward anyways.

She accused them of damaging her reputation in a June 14, 2017, editorial linking her to a 2011 mass shooting in Arizona that killed six people and wounded U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords.

The editorial, headlined "America's Lethal Politics," was published after a shooting at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia where U.S. Representative Steve Scalise, a top Republican from Louisiana, was wounded.

It said "the link to political incitement was clear" between the 2011 shooting and a map circulated by Palin's political action committee putting 20 Democrats including Giffords under "stylized cross hairs."

The Times quickly corrected the editorial, saying it wrongly stated that political rhetoric and the 2011 shooting were linked, but Palin said the disputed material fit Bennet's "preconceived narrative" against supporters of gun rights.
