is it illegal, did for example the nytimes violate any laws? it would be good if someone expands on this.



i won't expand much, but it looks pretty simple to me: it may be illegal to publish 'Sentence A', but reporting that someone did it is not. - 'X is a liar and a thief' = illegal - 'X is a liar and a thief, says Y" = legal
