NYT has been faking being a liberal rag though the late 20th century, but since the Trump era (2015 forward) it's gone more and more mask-off.
While I'm here, ~~a~~ look up the Behind the Bastards two-parter on How The Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win which compares the German (often Jewish-owned) newspapers in the 1930s to US news agencies in the 21st century. Spoiler: The owners and editors of the news identify way more with ownership class than working-class Jews (or in the US, anyone who is marginalized who isn't rich).
NYT has been around since before the civil war.

“Emancipation, whenever it comes, must be the work of the Slave States themselves. They must adopt it from a conviction of its necessity to their own well-being.”
