VDARE's Libel Case Against N.Y. Times Thrown Out

From N.Y. trial court judge Lisa Headley in VDARE Found., Inc. v.

In this action, the plaintiff asserts claims for defamation arising from four articles.

The plaintiff is seeking $700,000 in actual damages with punitive damages and costs.

First, in August 2019, the plaintiff alleges, inter alia, that the defendant, in a Times article "quoted the associate director of the Anti-Defamation League opining that while the term 'kritarch' has historically been used in a non-pejorative way to describe 'rule by judges,' more recently it has been 'co-opted' by extremists and taken on a different meaning." The plaintiff argues that it was false and defamatory to report that the term, "kritarchy" had "suddenly been transformed into an anti-Semitic code word."
