The New York Times defended calling Project Veritas' Minnesota Ballot Harvesting videos "deceptive" by arguing this was simply an "unverifiable expression of opinion."
Project Veritas pointed out this "opinion" was printed in the news section of The New York Times and the Court agreed: "if a writer interjects an opinion in a news article (and will seek to claim legal protections as opinion) it stands to reason that the writer should have an obligation to alert the reader ... that it is opinion." The Times did not do so, and the Court found this troubling.
The Court found Project Veritas demonstrated "a substantial basis in law and fact that the Defendants [The New York Times] acted with actual malice, that is, with knowledge that the statements in the Articles were false or made with reckless disregard of whether they were false or not" and Project Veritas should be permitted to "conduct discovery."
