NY Times says blaming Palin for shooting was ‘an honest mistake’
 [NYPOST]  Sarah Mama GrizzlyPalin ... the babe libs love to hate ... 's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... should be tossed because the paper made 'an honest mistake' when it said she incited a 2011 shooting that severely maimed Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords and killed six people, a lawyer for the Gray Lady said on Friday. 'There was an honest mistake in posting the editorial,' lawyer David Schultz told Manhattan federal Judge Jed Rakoff. Last week, Palin sued the Times over a June 14th editorial that stated there was a 'direct' link between one of Palin's PAC ads and the shooting by Jared Lee Loughner. But there's no evidence he ever saw the ad, which placed Gifford's district in stylized crosshairs. The Times issued a correction. On Friday, Palin's lawyers argued that the Times knew the story was false. 'It was literally acknowledged the same day in another story in their paper,' said Kenneth Turkel.
