I find this to be a legitimate question. At least in my country all news outlets have a political bias one way or another, including those run by the government itself.
Is there something about NY times (I don't read it) that warrants a downvote on OP's comment?
Yes, the simple fact that it's not a de-facto monopoly with network effects.
Yes. It has been for over a century. That's why they have editors, ombudsmen, etc.
