I have subscribed to the NYT for a long time and the only reason I keep the subscription is for the Metro section and the crossword puzzle. Slowly, beginning about 10-20 years ago, they decided to become an American version of Pravda. If you can find any evidence that they slant right or balanced I'd love to see it.
