NY Supreme Court, noting that "'Hit and run' journalism" is not protected, rules New York Times may have "improper[ly]" obtained PV's attorney-client memos before publishing them "ahead of the deadline it had set," and ORDERS the Times to (1) return the memos to PV; (2) destroy all copies of the memos it has, including removing them "from the internet"; (3) retrieve copies of the memos it provided to third parties including Columbia Journalism Professor Bill Grueskin; (4) not use the memos in PV's defamation lawsuit against the Times; and (5) confirm its compliance within 10 days. Merry Christmas, Dean Baquet.
The Court acknowledged the Times' argument that if it cannot publish our private attorney-client communications, what then can it do, and reminded the Times that "The Times is perfectly free to investigate, uncover, research, interview, photograph, record, report, publish, opine, expose or ignore whatever aspects of Project Veritas its editors in their sole discretion deem newsworthy, without utilizing Project Veritas' attorney-client privileged memoranda."
