If you read the article, the full Supreme Court refused to review the case because the he sued under a WV state statute which contains the actual malice standard. NYT v. Sullivan does not apply because the Supreme Court attached an actual malice penumbra to the First Amendment which was not in the statute that Sullivan sued under.
NYT v. Sullivan has done enormous harm, no doubt.

Couple of takeaways...
1.) The right to publish all statements is protected under the First Amendment. 2.) The Constitution prohibits a public official from recovering damages for a defamatory falsehood related to his official conduct.
The SC ruled unanimously in favor of the New York Times.
The Left was embedded deep in 1964.
