NEW YORK — Team Sarah Palin disclosed its disdain for the New York Times went beyond the error at the heart of her libel lawsuit during closing arguments in the case Friday.
The Times’ former editorial board editor, James Bennet, published a fallacy about Palin for which he never directly apologized, “indicative of an arrogance and a sense of power that’s uncontrolled,” charged Ken Turkel, a lawyer for the GOP firebrand and ex-Alaska governor.
“An entity as large as the New York Times controls every aspect of this dialogue,” Turkel said.
