Correct. The NYT is an instrument of the Democrat party, just as Fox News is an instrument of the GOP. Journalism has abandoned the pretense of impartiality, and it is especially notable during this election cycle.

Fox News may very well be an instrument of the GOP, but the same cannot be said of the New York Times and the Democratic party. There are no serious observers who believe the two publications are equivalently rigorous.
