Jesus, could anyone in this thread be bothered to provide, like, examples of any of the bias they claim to see in any of the sources provided? Should we just take your word for it?

In summer 2004, the newspaper's then public editor (ombudsman), Daniel Okrent, wrote a piece on the Times' liberal bias.[36] He concluded that The Times did have a liberal bias in coverage of certain social issues


I dont read the nyt but just google youll find tons of examples, and if the editor is admitting some liberal bias, you have to assume that its about 10 times worse than what he admits.

I tried to find the option "worse than the average paper" but it's not there so I have no option to choose.

As a scientist, I think this is obvious. I find this particularly strange since the NYT's is often equated as being supportive of the 'left wing commie academic ivory tower'. The NYT's has a lot of crap in it when it comes to science.

Im not your researcher, do your own googling/reading and opinion forming. Im not going to go search, post 100000 articles that are obviously biased and then have all the blind libs come out of the woodwork and debate inane semantics like most of the posts you guys put forth, Im busy drinking and watching some cooking shows.
