And no, i don't wish to try to prove it's liberal. I am just asking your opinion.
It depends how you define the bias of an entire paper. I think many people employed by the paper are liberal and especially their opinion pages & editorials tend to lean liberal, but I believe their news reporting (which is the most important function of a paper) is, on the whole, not biased and strives for objectivity.
I believe simpletons who cry "liberal media" anytime a NYT link is posted use the former as a sad excuse to dismiss the latter; for example, see the most recent instance on this page.
