This week, we look at an Alabama basketball player\u2019s successful defamation lawsuit against the <em>New York Times<\/em>, and we cover more media misses.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanhousingtransition.com\/?p=424\">The Midterms Will Test the Power of the MAGA Defectors<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jury Awards $9.25 Million in Defamation Suit Against NYT<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in more than 50 years, the <em>New York Times <\/em>has lost a defamation lawsuit brought in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>A jury awarded University of Alabama basketball player Kai Spears $9.25 million in damages last week after finding that the paper defamed him when it incorrectly reported that he was at the scene of a deadly shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Spears sued the paper in 2023, accusing it of libel and \u201cfalse light\u201d invasion of privacy over a March 2023 article that falsely reported that, two months earlier, he was a passenger in a car at a shooting that left a 23-year-old mother dead. Three Alabama basketball players were present at the scene, including one player who was charged with capital murder and is awaiting trial. However, the other two were not accused of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>New York Times <\/em>says it is \u201cdisappointed the jury found The Times liable for an honest mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thank the jury for its service, but believe the verdict and award of damages are contrary to law and not supported by the evidence,\u201d spokesman Charlie Stadtlander said in a statement, adding that the paper is reviewing its legal options.<\/p>\n<p>However, the trial revealed that the reporter\u2019s anonymous sourcing resembled a game of telephone and didn\u2019t comply with the storied paper\u2019s strict policies and standards.<\/p>\n<p>Rushing to publish the story on the eve of Alabama\u2019s first NCAA tournament game, reporter Billy Witz pushed forward with a narrative placing the then-18-year-old freshman at the scene, despite his main source having not witnessed the shooting firsthand.<\/p>\n<p>Before running the story, \u201cA Fourth Alabama Player Was at a Deadly Shooting, in a Car Hit by Bullets,\u201d Witz met with Source A, whom he has described as a high-level professional with access to investigative materials such as surveillance video, impound-lot photos, and a preliminary hearing transcript.<\/p>\n<p>Source A claimed that Spears was the previously unidentified passenger in the car \u2014 based at least in part on information from his or her own unidentified source.<\/p>\n<p>Witz was never in touch with Source A\u2019s source.<\/p>\n<p>Another source, Source B, told Witz that a \u201cwhite guy on the basketball team\u201d was in the car, though that source did not remember the player\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>Witz did reach out to Spears for comment, but the college freshman declined, having been instructed by the university not to discuss the case with the media. The reporter then got in touch with Spears\u2019s father, who \u201cunequivocally\u201d denied that his son was a passenger in the car that night.<\/p>\n<p>Spears would later explain that he was out that night with some of his teammates but had returned to his dorm by the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>After the story was published, the narrative quickly began to fall apart. Source B reached out to Witz to express doubts about the information he or she had provided.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Times<\/em>, for its part, argued during the trial that the article was not defamatory because it did not suggest Spears had any involvement in the shooting, despite falsely placing him at the scene. The paper\u2019s lawyers also argued that Witz had taken reasonable steps to confirm his anonymous sources\u2019 claims.<\/p>\n<p>But Spears\u2019s Tuscaloosa-based attorney, Matt Glover, told NR that the <em>Times <\/em>\u201chad no corroboration, no verification, created an artificial deadline, and was willing to chase that headline at the expense of a child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He claimed that the national media have operated as if they have blanket immunity to defamation suits since the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in <em>New York v. Sullivan <\/em>in 1964<em>. <\/em>The ruling requires public figures suing for defamation to prove \u201cactual malice,\u201d a standard that applies when the defendant publishes a statement with knowledge of its falsity or with reckless disregard for whether it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have that false sense of \u2018we can do anything we want,\u2019 then you don\u2019t have to follow your policies as much in your mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It probably didn\u2019t hurt Glover\u2019s cause that the jury was composed of Alabamians. President Trump, who won Alabama by more than 30 points, built his political career on attacking the liberal media, a group that the <em>Times <\/em>represents perhaps more than any other outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanhousingtransition.com\/?p=422\">Seattle Times Columnist Resigns After Editors Spike Essay Defending Fairness in Women\u2019s Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Glover says a major difference between this case and others the <em>Times <\/em>has successfully defeated is that his client was a private citizen, not a public figure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt takes a lot of resources to go up against [the <em>New York Times<\/em>],\u201d he said. \u201cThey have a very robust legal team, unlimited resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the nine-day trial before an eight-person jury \u201creally exposed the inner workings of the <em>New York Times<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After deliberating for five hours, the jury awarded Spears $7.4 million in punitive damages on the false-light claim.<\/p>\n<p>Glover said that he is a \u201cfirm believer in the First Amendment\u201d and that he thinks the media \u201chas an important function,\u201d but that those protections must be balanced with the rights of citizens, \u201cwhether you\u2019re the president of the United States, or you\u2019re a college student.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Headline Fail of the Week<\/p>\n<p><em>The Guardian<\/em> claims that \u201cthe real covid-19 scandal is still unfolding\u201d \u2014 and it\u2019s not related to the virus\u2019s origins or the corresponding cover-up.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the column criticizes Republicans for focusing too much on uncovering Dr. Anthony Fauci\u2019s Covid-related lies and says that lawmakers should be focusing more on figuring out why so many Americans died, relative to the numbers who succumbed to the virus in other rich countries.<\/p>\n<p>The column laments that a recent Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing \u201cfocused instead on the usual obsessions for which Dr Fauci has become the Republican scapegoat\u2014some absurd and others valid but distantly related, at best, to protecting potential victims of a future plague.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFauci, who is 85, was reduced to repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment, including when asked the colour of his tie,\u201d the magazine adds. \u201cIn his opening statement, his hands shaking as he read it, Dr Fauci said his lawyers had advised that recourse because the committee\u2019s chairman, Rand Paul of Kentucky, had made clear an intent to see him behind bars despite a blanket pardon issued by Mr Biden. In other words the Senate could not inquire into a health crisis that racked the country because a key witness feared a perjury trap, and rightly so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the column ultimately gets around to acknowledging vaguely that Fauci \u201cmade mistakes, including not disclosing early on that some top virologists initially worried the virus might be man-made,\u201d it argues that Fauci was not responsible for the worst excesses of the Covid response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis summons before the Senate committee was surely intended to humiliate if not incriminate him. It should embarrass the entire country,\u201d the column concludes.<\/p>\n<p>Media Misses<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The <em>Washington Post <\/em>must rehire opinion columnist Karen Attiah, whom it fired last year over her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Private arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa ordered the paper to both rehire Attiah and to compensate her with back pay. The arbitrator said in her decision that the paper \u201cdid not have good and sufficient cause\u201d to fire Attiah and \u201cviolated\u201d its labor agreement, according to a copy of the order obtained by the <em>New York Times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 CNN host Christiane Amanpour recently claimed on her podcast that the migrant crisis in Spain is a \u201cvery tricky one\u201d and that \u201cinvasion\u201d is a \u201cbad word to use\u201d after 60,000 African migrants breached the border of the Spanish territory of Ceuta in 24 hours last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this time with the Ceuta \u2018invasion,\u2019 although that\u2019s a bad word to use, clearly it has political context and is used by, you know, generally the far-right and the opponents of immigration,\u201d she said. \u201cAll the European leaders, many of them really got on the case of the Spanish Prime Minister to get this situation under control. And it\u2019s a very tricky one. And it has the possibility of empowering, for instance, in Spain, the far-right, the opposition, and elsewhere, you know, in Germany and France where there\u2019s real fears that the far right may make inroads.\u201d While most of the migrants were quickly returned, the wave briefly overwhelmed the territory, which itself has a population of just 85,000.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses in Ceuta were forced to close their doors amid what residents called a migrant \u201capocalypse.\u201d Migrants were seen sleeping in the streets and bathing in public fountains.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022 New York <\/em>magazine created widespread confusion and amusement on social media last week with a post that made little sense:<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It was a hot Argentina summer \u2014 except in Argentina, where, being southerly hemisphered, it was a cool Argentina winter \u2014 when La Albiceleste surprised the world, meeting Spain to play for what might have been its second consecutive World Cup title.
