The New York Times promotes an unrelenting liberal point of view.[1][2] It is the third most widely circulated newspaper in the United States behind USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.[3] The New York Times is published by third generation publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. Sulzberger has denied the the Times has a liberal viewpoint, and has stated it 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]

Conservative organizations have offered various pieces of evidence pointing towards the New York Times promoting the homosexual agenda.[7][8][9] Accuracy in Media quotes a report by Peter LaBarbera stating that Richard Berke, the national political correspondent for the New York Times, made an appearance on behalf of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association and revealed that three-quarters of the people who now decide what goes on the front page of the New York Times are "not so closeted homosexuals."[10] In addition, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) gave the New York Times an award for "Outstanding Newspaper Overall Coverage".[11] Accuracy in Media gives an account of an official of the group the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation "advising the press not to cover former homosexuals because it would be comparable to quoting the Ku Klux Klan about civil rights."[12] In addition, according to Accuracy in Media the New York Times sent a recruiter to a National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association convention in order to recruit homosexuals as journalists.[13]

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."[14]

”

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:
