After reading newspapers from several of the major metropolitan areas,
I have found that the NY Times is probably one of the best and most
accurate newspapers around.  However, (and here it comes) it is known
that the NYT is a liberal newspaper (as can be deduced from its 
editorials and editorial opinions).  There have been occasions when
the NYT has deliberately ignored opions or facts which have contradicted
their its more liberal approach.  I can not, offhand, relate such
instances here.  If you were to compare the NYT to another 
"business man's" newspaper (such as the Wall Street Journal), the
NYT is definitely a Liberal newspaper.  I would rather characterize
the NYT as a liberal-middle-of-the-road paper.  As newspapers go
these days (since they are all being bought up by Murdoch (sp?)),
the NYT is particularly accurate and thorough in its reporting.
If I had my choice, I would probably pick the NYT to read every day.
Most of the other papers regurgitate highly condensed versions of
what is happening in the world, which does not give you an (mostly)
unbiased version.  So few newspapers will give the WHOLE story,
not just the condensed story (aka Reader's Digest(ed) summaries).
