Wait, you lost me. The NYT prints lies and misinofrmation but it's organized lies and misinformation therefore....(inference) it allows one to triangulate the truth....? Or what?
[WS:] No, the NYT does not print lies i.e. statements that are demonstrably false. This is the function of tabloids. The respectable media print what is factually correct, and if they occasionally err - it is an unintended exception rather than the norm.
What the do print, however, is a SELECTION of facts and perspective that favors a particular point of view or political orientation. This is how the media all around the world function - except perhaps that non-US media are much open about this. You may not like a political orientation of the NYT or any other paper, but there is nothing wrong with having it. In fact it is not possible to have media without an implicit point of view, because whatever they print involves selection of material and every selection is arbitrary and thus reflects editors' preferences.
