[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a separate question relevant to the NYT and the metadata. Basic but intriguing-

If the Times reporters only had a draft complaint not yet sworn to by Lively, would it be reasonable reliance to use her claims as sworn if alleged facts? If they began drafting their wannabe MeToo takedown in October bur the California civil rights claim was not submitted and thus finalized til December, what does that mean if anything? [/quote]

Might depend on when they got a copy of the complaint. I'd actually be surprised if they got it in October, even an early draft.

My guess is that Lively started talking to them in October and at that point may not even have planned to sue (that's why they say they have hours of interviews with Lively -- they'd been talking to her for a while). But perhaps they didn't view it as newsworthy until she filed the complaint. That actually works in NYT's favor if they waited until there was a newsworthy event to report -- it shows restraint when they were just allegations.

I suspect the discovery of the PR reacts us also relevant to when they decided to publish. Their coverage was very much focused on those texts. Again, if the didn't have those until December, this is beneficial to the NYT. It would mean they refrained from reporting until there was more concrete evidence of wrongdoing by Baldoni. Remember some of the texts are from Baldoni himself. It pushes it outside the realm of "she said" when they have his texts. [/quote]
