The NYT takes sides. They will unfortunately omit things or insinuate things to support their opinion. NPR is much better, even though they lean left -but at least they try with exceptions.
I don't mind leaning left or right. I mind lying left and right.
Right. But the NYT is not the old NYT. They are not NPR-quality any more.
The NYT has been around a long time and at various times has written multiple glowing articles about Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler and other despots of all stripes which does not speak well of ye old NYT. It is difficult to find a disparaging word in any of their coverage of current day neo Nazis in the USA when they have done extensive interviews. One needs to judge each article on its own merits.
