1 - Unfortunately for you, OP didn't omit the op/ed page from review. Since the op/ed page is such a big part of a person's perception of a paper it is tough to separate the two.

2 - Your challenge is flawed also. The way a paper presents "news" can carry no less bias than the actual article at times. For example (I did find this in 2.7 seconds on Google, btw), 3 glowing ( 2 front page ) Democratic candidate profiles in a few weeks. 1 Republican profile in the last 3 months. These things happen over and over. Then add the op/ed in the mix and their agenda is clear.

3 - Your comment on "elitist" is telling too. Not to mention wrong.

But, hey, zero for three is batting a thousand dependent upon how you look at it...

Nope. And I'm not even sure what those states have to do with anything. Red States? Yeah. Oh, but no. Those aren't the only Red States.

The South? Not close.

Don't know what you are getting at...

Hippie liberal propaganda in my opinion.

yes it is, and thats why it is irresponsible and dangerous.

I'd like Jason Blair's thoughts on the matter.

NYT is good, comparatively, but not nearly as good as it's reputation. Bias is unavoidable, even for Associated Press pieces. Get over it. There is no vast left/right-wing conspiracy, just people trying to pull up news and people trying to pull up cash.

Awesome, this is exactly the type of detailed analysis I was looking for, especially the part I bolded. Thanks!

Please go to www.timeswatch.org for plenty of examples. Even though they provide detailed analysis of Times bias, I am willing to give huge odds that you won't believe a word they say. So it probably would be a waste of your time.

Story on Heart Implants

Another perfect example of NYT bias.
This story is ostensibly about the recall of heart implants because of a defect. In the middle, in a blurb, NYT felt it was necessary to inform us that:

Vice President Dick Cheney uses a Medtronic defibrillator, but it was implanted in 2001, before the Fidelis lead was introduced. The White House declined to comment last night.

Knowing the left's attitude towards Cheney (who I have no love towards), one can only assume they want to maintain a sort of Dick Cheney deathwatch, so that we can hope he dies.

Why do I have a feeling that if the article read:
[ QUOTE ]
Former President Bill Clinton Cheney uses a Medtronic defibrillator, but it was implanted in 2001, before the Fidelis lead was introduced.

[/ QUOTE ]

You would write:
Knowing the left's attitude towards Clinton (who I have no love towards), one can only assume they want to keep him in the spotlight for any reason.

In short, I don't see how it shows a liberal bias to mention that the VP uses a particular type of medical device in an article about that medical device.

The NY Times is excellent for wrapping fish or starting the BBQ.

Here is an article from today. How timely.
