Actually, it doesn't. I may not hang around the same group of people as you which may explain why I have no biasses towards the NYTs. Please explain what you mean.

If you were to mention Fox News I would get the referene since Fox News is mostly a racist, sexist, xenophobe pile of dung. I'm of course exagerating for dramatic effect. They are still quite bad on the things they say(twist) though.

I don't really "hang out" with NYT readers, so I can't tell you the group consensus.

But my experience has been that NYT frequently fails to report meaningful data. For example a few days ago, they compared the propensity of people to marry others of similar income to "eugenics". http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/12/27/upshot/marriages-of-pow... But then totally and completely failed to show that income level transfers generations, which is crucial for eugenics. They also failed to look at it even mention confounding variables.
