Cash and attention. She's just like Trump--nothing without enemies to bash. Since she can't go after Trump, and she'd look foolish going after Obama, she'll jump on the 'media is the enemy' bandwagon.

It works for dictators.

However, while this gives him the right to go to the annual shareholder's meeting (which you could do if you purchase but one share), it does not give him any voice in the running of the newspaper, save indirectly through voting for Class A directors.

The Class B shares are not public, but privately owned. These 'super-voting' shares are controlled by the Ochs-Sulzberger family, which has owned the Times since the late 1800s. They are the power.

Now, when Mr. Trump claimed that Carlos Slim Helu owns the New York Times, that should have been a clue to people that Mr. Slim is not the owner, since Mr. Trump, out of sheer habit, was lying. Or, more than likely, he simply knew not of what he spoke.

Fun fact: Times Square in Manhattan is named after the New York Times. I shall leave it to others to try to figure out why.
Thank you. Corporate law is fairly complicated and some CD users shouldn't try practicing it at home.

For those interested, the NYT's story about the suit:

If she had been so incensed about the reportage, why did she wait 6 years to bring the suit? Would you have waited that long, Waldo? Nope. You would have struck while the iron was hot. So would I, and the guy in the corner over there.

Sarah's publicity generator has burned up, taking her only source of income with it. This is just like some ghetto queen suing in the hopes there may be a few bucks for her at the end. No more, no less. It happens every day.

There has never been a politician in this century who willfully squandered so much good will and support as Palin. She could have gone places, and now look at her.

Goes to show you can take the trash out of the trailer, but you will never take the trailer out of the trash.

It's become increasingly obvious that there are those Trump voters that don't actually have a set viewpoint on anything. It's just an us vs them mentality.

An Italian fashion design company sues Ivanka for very obviously copying a shoe design and this is somehow wrong. Sarah Palin sues a newspaper for apparently blaming her for a shooting (I read the article; what is said is that the district targeted in the shooting was pointed out in a map circulated by Sarah Palin's political action committee... they do not say she wanted the shooting and reading the full article makes that really obvious) and apparently that's good.

Because it's just side a vs side b. Ironically, that's kind of what the Times article was about.

I will note that the editorial that Ms. Palin is suing over was issued just a couple of weeks ago, not six years or whatever.


In New York, the statue of limitations is one year, so she is, at the least, responding quickly.

This argument is like proving knife is sharp by slitting your own wrist.

If anyone cost you income, greater than a couple hundred bucks, would you let it go and ask for their forgiveness for hassling them.

I take it that you didn't read the OP. The reasons why it took so long are there.

The topic isn't about Trump's 63 million voters. I'm surprised that anyone would make a broad based negative generalization about so many people as some sort of argument in defense of the NY Times.
