Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : A federal jury in New York found the newspaper not liable for allegedly defaming Palin in a 2017 editorial about gun control.
15% : The case garnered much attention not just because Palin and the Times are household names across the US but because the it raised issues in the broader public discourse about free speech in the era of the return of Donald Trump, who relishes calling the mainstream media the "enemy of the people".
