NYT can publish Project Veritas docs -- for now
Oliver Darcy writes: "NYT scored a legal victory Thursday in its ongoing battle with Project Veritas. A New York state appeals court stayed an order from a lower court that prevented the paper from publishing documents pertaining to the right-wing group until an appeal can be heard. A NYT spox said that the outlet is 'pleased' with the decision: 'The use of prior restraint to prohibit news gathering and block the publication of newsworthy journalism is unconstitutional,' the spox added. 'No libel plaintiffs should be permitted to use their litigation as a tool to silence press coverage about them.' A Project Veritas lawyer, meanwhile, told NYT's Michael Grynbaum: 'We are pleased that the Appellate Division denied The Times’s overreaching request to vacate the order.'
Do something positive.
