>The Times has been accused of having either a liberal or a conservative bias.[54][55][56][57][58][59] According to a 2007 survey of public perceptions of major media outlets, 40% believe the Times has a liberal slant and 11% believe it has a conservative slant.[60] In December 2004 a University of California, Los Angeles study gave the Times a score of 73.7 on a 100 point scale,

...(though the scale would have to go between -20 to +300 to accommodate the actual spectrum of ideas, at least what I know of)...

>...with 0 being most conservative and 100 being most liberal.[61] The validity of the study has been questioned by various organizations, including liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America.[62] In mid-2004, the newspaper's then public editor (ombudsman), Daniel Okrent, wrote a piece in which he concluded that the Times did have a liberal bias in coverage of certain social issue such as gay marriage. He claimed that this bias reflected the paper's cosmopolitanism, which arose naturally from its roots as a hometown paper of New York City. Okrent did not comment at length on the issue of bias in coverage of "hard news", such as fiscal policy, foreign policy, or civil liberties, but did state that the paper's coverage of the Iraq war was insufficiently critical of the George W. Bush administration

That doesn't mean he isn't thinking alone, on his own. Doesn't look like needing help there.
