I don't think the NYT is untrustworthy wholesale. They still break some stories early, have insider sources for political stories, etc
But they're also very much an outlet committed to making money over most else, have no sympathy for explicit anti-capitalism, and will run just the worst op-eds from the worst people.
Any Outlet focused on making money over anything else. Is definitionally untrustworthy. That doesn't mean they cannot publish decent things from time to time. It just means that you cannot trust what they publish to always be correct
Eh, you can trust them to always follow the money though.
"From time to time" is an extremely disingenuous assessment of the NYT's record for fact-checking and investigating. But yes, it cannot always be correct; you do need to be mindful if you ever start reading any source entirely uncritically.
