NEW YORK — A former New York Times opinion editor being sued along with his ex-employer by former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fell on his sword Tuesday by insisting the error at the heart of the case was all on him.
“This is my fault,” James Bennet told a Manhattan Federal Court jury. “I mean, I wrote those sentences, and I’m not looking to shift the blame to anybody else. So, I just, like, for the record, I want to say that.”
Bennet’s mea culpa came on the fourth day of the libel trial.
