The NYT mission statement is not to report news as they happen to occur. The mission statement of the NYT is to make both Left and Right, Democrats and Republicans, look equally good or equally bad, no matter what the facts actually point to.

You should not support the NYT financially until they put objectiveness over artificial "balanced reporting".
