The NYT has been governed by the Sulzberger family since 1896, more recently via a dual-class share structure after its shares became publicly traded in 1969. A. G. Sulzberger and his father, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr are the current leaders of the Sulzberger-Ochs dynasty.
The NYT is as establishment as it gets, despite the endless posturing of 'investigative reporting', a fig leaf for quiet reinforcement of the status quo.
Its equivalent in the UK is arguably the Financial Times, who are in comparison very straight forward supporters of globalization, WEF 'great reset' etc along with the Rothchild/Agneli magazine the Economist.
There used to be a common descriptor of the Soviet era Pravda that you had to read between the lines to get near the truth. I broadly feel the same way about all of the above media companies.
