MOORE EYES LIBEL SUIT AGAINST UNDISCLOSED MEDIA OUTLET (Gaston Gazette) -- House Speaker Tim Moore has paid a New York City law firm more than $22,000 to prepare a possible libel lawsuit against a North Carolina media outlet. The Kings Mountain Republican said Thursday he believes the media outlet intentionally tried to defame him with its coverage. Moore declined to name the media organization on Thursday or what the incident involved. He confirmed that his target was neither The Gaston Gazette nor The Shelby Star, or any of the other publications owned by parent company, Gate House Media. He confirmed earlier reports that he also was not targeting The Charlotte Observer or The News & Observer in Raleigh. "At this point, because there are discussions ongoing between the attorneys on both sides I don't want to name the outlet," said Moore, who has a law practice in Cleveland County.
