I'm afraid that, at least technically speaking, the NY Times cannot be classified as a tabloid. The term 'tabloid' actually refers to the size of the sheet on which a paper is printed, the NY Post and Daily News being examples of tabloids. Printed on larger paper, the Times is a broadsheet.

Of course 'tabloid' has become something of a synonym for an opinionated, trashy paper with dubious journalistic standards. But at this point, to call the Times a tabloid would be an insult to the NY Post!

Good points about the tabloids...

I guess I'll just call the NYT as I use it, guinea pig fluff ;-)
