Former New York Times editorial page editor James Bennet apologized to Sarah Palin during a defamation trial, acknowledging a 2017 editorial that inaccurately linked Palin's PAC to a mass shooting in Arizona. Bennet testified that he was "really upset" and still is, offering a heartfelt apology. Palin was less impressed, questioning the timing of the apology, which came years after the editorial was corrected. The trial is the second defamation lawsuit brought by Palin against the Times.
