I would only bother responding if I suspected that it would not be a waste of time.
The New York Times is a corporation which serves its bottom line first. That is its bias. That is not especially liberal. Neither is cheering on the coup in Venezuela, by the way.
Herman and Chomsky do a fine job of unveiling the New York Times in their book Manufacturing Consent.
The only way to lose this argument is by letting the right frame the terms of the debate and giving all their underlying assumptions a free pass.
