The newspaper has been awarded the most Pulitzer Prizes of any newspaper, with a total of 95.
Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger Jr.The New York Times is published by 3rd generation NYT publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. New York Times publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr. has denied the the New York Times has a liberal viewpoint and has stated the New York Times has an "urban" viewpoint.[4] However, in the summer of 2004, the newspaper's then public editor (ombudsman), Daniel Okrent, published a piece on the Times' liberal bias, and cited the example of their coverage of homosexual marriage.[5][6]
Cybercast News Service states the following regarding regarding the influence of the New York Times and Washington Post:
“ While the newspapers reach only a fraction of people compared to the television networks, he said radio and television producers rely heavily on their contents.
"The reason the Times, and to a lesser extent the Post, are so important, and they are, is because the TV and radio - all of the media - copy it sycophantically," he [John Stossel] said. "That's how bias at the Times becomes bias in other media."[7]
”
The NYT publishes 15 other newspapers, including the International Herald Tribune (based in Paris) and the Boston Globe. Examples of types of liberal bias utilized by the New York Times include:
Controversies
The Times correspondent Walter Duranty intentionally covered up the Soviet genocide of the Ukrainians.[8]
C. L. Sulzberger in 1944 wrote a glowing review of Edgar Snow's People on Our Side and plugged Snow's earlier 1937 work, Red Star Over China in which Snow stated, "The political ideology, tactical line and theoretical leadership of the Chinese Communists have been under the close guidance, if not positive direction, of the Communist International, which during the last decade has become virtually a bureau of the Russian Communist Party. In the final analysis this means that for better or worse, the policies of the Chinese Communists, like the Communists in every other country, have had to fall in line with, and usually subordinate themselves to, the broad strategic requirements of Soviet Russia, under the dictatorship of Stalin."[9] Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin, the leaders given endorsement here as "people on our side," are the two biggest mass murderers in history.
In 2003, New York Times reporter Jayson Blair resigned after it was found that he had engaged in repeated plagiarism and deceit, copying articles from other newspapers and making up other articles out of whole cloth. Blair was promoted and problems with his reporting were ignored due to the newspaper's adherence to affirmative action[10] Online NewsHour
An anonymous editor at the New York Times attacked Rep. Tom DeLay with the most vile hate speech in Delay's Wikipedia biographical entry just prior to the 2006 election.[11][12]
Michelle Malkin says the NYT has violated an agreement regarding journalists covering war casualties. [13]
The New York Times subsidized[14] what Peter D. Feaver of the Boston Globe referred to as a "vicious" attack on the person and charter of a respected professional soldier, Gen. David Petraeus.[15] The radical liberal group MoveOn.org, an organization which advocated maintaining the corrupt United Nations Oil For Food program's support for the fascist Ba'athist regime in Iraq, ran a full page ad in the Times at roughly half the cost of regular price impugning Gen. Petraeus credibility as a traitor.[16]
