It does matter. Popularity bias affects how people vote. NYTimes is a fairly liberal media source, and it's incredibly suspicious that this small case has been used to show "hey this bad guy is getting support due to this!" ... why didn't they publish this before?
- hilop 10y agoNYT is not liberal. It is just left of extreme right wing. NYT was a leading cheerleaders for Bush's Iraq War

So in common American usage, not liberal. If you're a socialist though, "liberal" would accurately describe the whole Democratic party, who favor somewhat regulated capitalism and mild social liberalism.
