The NYT is in no way far left. It's a fairly centrist, vaguely middle-right publication. They have the occasional leftist essay, but far more often their op-eds are very strangely right-wing. I say strangely, because it's not very typical, afaict, but just occasionally someone feels the need to throw something really bizarre out there. Which is why there's several variations on things like the "NYT pitchbot" out there, making fun of how bizarre those are.

  I don't know what this site is or why it should be treated as authoritative, but putting Jacobin and NYT Opinion on the same plane seems pretty divorced from reality.

    I wouldn't say so. They're both definitely center-left, though they may not be to the same extremes. Here's the creds on AllSides: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllSides https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AllSides NYT is center-left: https://www.allsides.com/news-source/new-york-times https://www.allsides.com/news-source/new-york-times Jacobian is further left than that: https://www.allsides.com/news-source/jacobin-media-bias https://www.allsides.com/news-source/jacobin-media-bias

NYT is firmly on the left side. This is the publication that brought us the 1619 Project.

  That does not imply firmly left. That is perfectly consistent with centrist. That far right went bonkers over that project does not mean the project was far left one.

    The 1619 Project is so insanely partisan and divorced from reality, that even the Trotskyist publication World Socialist Web Site has correctly denounced it as nonsense, and published some very high-quality rebuttals. https://www.wsws.org/en/topics/event/1619 https://www.wsws.org/en/topics/event/1619
