WikiLeaks emails show reporter agreed to let Clinton campaign cut quotes before story ran. Hillary Clinton spent time in summer 2015 with The New York Times reporter Mark Leibovich and made a crack about 2008 Republican presidential candidate Sarah Palin. But the remark didn’t make it into the long profile. Leibovich agreed to give the Clinton campaign veto power over the statements she made. The revelation comes in Part III of a massive email release from WikiLeaks. Leibovich evidently gave the campaign the ability to ax quotes as part of a deal for access.....

NY Slime is part of the Hildebeast campaign!!!!
 
It would be closer to call it editorial powers rather than veto powers, since the NYT is not a legislative body..

I hope you're not challenging the OP's use of the word since the title of his post was also the title of the article provided in the link. The author of the article quoted by the OP used the word "veto" correctly. The word is not confined to legislative acts as you seem to suggest. According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary it also means "to refuse to allow or accept (something, such as a plan or suggestion" which has nothing to do with making laws. Here are examples of the use of the word "veto" according to Merriam Webster:

Examples of veto in a sentence:

  1. The President vetoed the bill.

  2. We wanted to do a cross-country trip, but our parents vetoed it.

  3. She vetoed several restaurants before we could agree on on

Definition of VETO

Don't be so picky.
