It's perfectly fine to prejudice court proceedings that are not yet in progress (though less so for prosecutors attempting to do the same in criminal cases).

It's not permissible to influence the deliberations of jurors, but that's a narrow scope--jurors aren't supposed to digest media related to the case while serving, so the parties can generally say or opine whatever they want during a case outside of the courtroom.
