The New York Times credibility rivals that of CBS.
If you put the New York Times reputation through the "witch trial" tests, you discover that it won't sink and drown when thrown into deep water. An examination of the NYT's would reveal that there are black marks all over it. The Lord's Prayer test would reveal that the holy prayer is anathema to the NYTs.
And when burned, the New York Times makes great kindling, but provides very little warmth.
