It's just that the NYT isn't the progressive institution people wish it was. Its thing is old-fashioned liberalism that will say progressive-sounding things when nothing much is at stake, but will go quiet, or distract with "lifestyle" articles or vapid opinion pieces, when it matters.

Exactly.
It's just another capitalist publication, out there to get you to read whatever inflammatory crap they print in order to sell ads.
NYT are the original genocide deniers and Zionists regime whores too 🤡
In 1932, Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for a series of reports about the Soviet Union, eleven of which were published in June 1931. He was later criticized for his subsequent denial of the widespread famine (1930–1933) in the USSR,[1] most particularly the Holodomor. Beginning in 1990, there were calls for the Pulitzer board to revoke Duranty's prize. The Pulitzer Board declined to revoke the award and in 2003 said the articles which it examined in making the award did not contain "clear and convincing evidence of deliberate deception".[2]
Those articles about widespread rape on Oct 7 still haven't been retracted despite no evidence of such.
Regime whores never suffer consequences for their crimes.
What I have hard time understanding is why US government permits this whoring for foreign regimes such as USSR or Israel... We know why Israel.
For USSR I assume they didn't care at that time about it
There isn't one atrocity committed by the US or its allies that the NYT wasn't in full support of. The "paper of record" is essentially the main distribution channel for COINTELPRO style bullshit.
I like the New York times. I think people conflate their opinion section from their news coverage. Their opinion section skews liberal so people think the nytimes is liberal. But their news room is pretty center, and especially post pandemic they try to report news in a down the middle, it will do a more both sides stuff.
