NYT is scant in terms of bias:

So is NYT:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...and-standards/

Compared that to Associated Press which dedicates an entire section to eliminating bias and Reuters, which includes eliminating bias as two core tenets of their organization.

See, this quote from NYT unnerves me:
Quote:
Thus The Times and members of its news department and editorial page staff share an interest in avoiding conflicts of interest or an appearance of a conflict.
It's a common thread throughout their ethics statements. It's not about process to eliminate bias, it's fundamentally about firing people that create conflicts with their interests. Compare that to Reuters:
Quote:
Thomson Reuters is dedicated to upholding the Trust Principles and to preserving its independence, integrity, and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of information and news.
Literally "freedom from bias." That should be the goal of every media organization out there.
