New York Times Media Bias

---

November 21, 2023 (?): Based on the citations provided, this news source appears to have a moderate liberal bias.

This is evidenced by framing that is often critical of conservative figures and issues, while providing extensive coverage of conservative missteps and intraparty divisions. Some examples that indicate a liberal bias include: ^{[New York Times]} Framing DeSantis' abortion stance as a political tactic rather than a moral position in order to "win over evangelical voters." ^{[New York Times, New York Times]} Emphasizing turmoil and infighting within the Republican party in the context of electing a Speaker of the House. ^{[New York Times]} Framing Trump and DeSantis's hardline immigration stances as "extreme." However, the source does seek to provide factual accounts from both sides of the political spectrum on major issues.

There is also substantive coverage of topics not overtly political in nature.

So while a moderate liberal slant can be detected in tone and framing, there does seem to be an effort toward balance and neutral presentation of some events.

There also appears to be an effort to positively portray liberal actions, like highlighting overturned abortion restrictions ^{[New York Times]} and reporting on LGBTQ advocates ^{[New York Times]}.

However, the source does strive for balance through substantive coverage of Biden's unpopularity ^{[New York Times]}, Democratic party conflicts ^{[New York Times]}, and reporting scandals like classified information sharing ^{[New York Times]}.
