Frankly, NYT is spot on.
Media in the US has consolidated to a handful of players, who have many conflicts of interest. These result in a big business bias in media today.
It's rare to get news and commentary written from the labor point of view, and that's needed a lot more than financial expansion of entities like the NYT.
Progressive minded people should simply start to fund labor centric media and compete with the big money majors. I'll bet that competition goes pretty well, and some of that can be seen in TYT today, largest online news and opinion entity there is, by views. TYT owns under 35-40, operates on a mix of AD revenue and membership income to avoid having those same conflicts of interest, and that allows it to differentiate nicely from the usual players.
