As with our political parties, there are no left wing papers in the United States, at least not by the accounting of the median developed democracy. They may run individual stories of a particular bent, but the NYTimes overall is a right wing news source. One need only consider how they handled the Iraq War or pander to conservative moral panics around trans people for this to be obvious, and I’m speaking specifically to their so-called reporting on these issues, separate from the editorial department. The NYTimes is also wildly anti-union and routinely engages in intimidation tactics against its staff, eliminated their public oversight editor position, among many other egregious examples.

It's not a "conservative moral panic" to have these discussions.
