A 'news' article is different than an 'opinion' article.

Most news reports contains statements backed by verifiable sources/references/evidence. In general, a 'news' article is and should be neutral.

A good news outlet maintains that difference. Blurring the lines between the two is an indicator of the organization's bias.

IMO, NYT is one such good organization. That was my point if I wasn't clear!
