I would say, just make allowance for the bias. But that's me, my technique of vetting news stories is to get the same news from three separate reporters and "triangulate." So if you get a story from two leftist outlets and a rightist outlet, the facts they have in common are probably true.

In the case of the story you are questioning, the NYTimes cites "the Pentagon", which as a source is difficult to falsify. You might think the Pentagon is more biased than the NYTimes.
