Just to add to the list, Noam Chomsky has long maintained that the NYT has a very strong agenda regarding Israel which manifests in any and all related coverage.[1]

Such an idea ran contrary to my long held sentiment for the NYT as rational and unbiased but I am seeing it more and more.

[1] Chomsky writes about this in Understanding Power.

Noam Chomsky has an agenda himself, I would not use him as a factual reference for any such perceived bias.
Chomsky is transparent about his agenda, and that's the best you can hope for from anybody.
And what does NYTs coverage of Israel has to do with the issue on hand?
