Generally the New York Times fact-checks and corrects itself—but all newspapers spin stories for more clicks or interest. “Everything’s going okay at Apple” isn’t going to move advertisement dollars, the metric by which all news media ultimately value stories. Having worked at a newspaper or two myself, it’s inescapable. That said it’s also worth pointing out the New York Times has endorsed Republicans before... just not recently. I suppose it’s also worth noting the Republican Party wasn’t always this way, either. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidential_electio...

Not from where I've been sitting: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aycombinator.com+NYT+b...
You could argue NYT took a while to get called out, but not that they aren't getting called out.
They do this a lot. It is (rightfully) pointed out any time a right leaning website story is posted, with the whole "Note this is from X publication, and they are right leaning, so take that into consideration" comment. For some reason NYT seems immune to this criticism though.
