I am using the proper international definition of "liberal". The NYT certainly has a very US ideology, but it best fits liberal in the rest off the democratic world.
> In the United States liberalism is associated with the welfare-state policies of the New Deal program of the Democratic administration of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt, whereas in Europe it is more commonly associated with a commitment to limited government and laissez-faire economic policies (see below Contemporary liberalism).
