Would you ask the same question about Fox News? It's a little redundant no?

I wouldn't only because I've already seen enough examples of them impugning their credibility that I've been able to form my own conclusions.

I wasn't aware that the NYT was considered equivalently and oppositely biased. The articles I have read have not put up any red flags for me, but I'm not closed off to the possibility that I've missed the signs or haven't read the right articles. Hence my question.

I take it you think virtually all their reporting is sufficiently biased so as not to be considered trustworthy?

Yes I would consider all reporting from NYT to be biased. However what they choose to print in their editorials is worth particular scrutiny.
