It is a small-town newspaper for a compatively big town. It's not their fault if other people take them for nayhting else.

You make it sound like you expect them to be impartial and obective for the sake of impariality and objectivity. The NYT plays to its audence. It is a small-town newspaper for a compatively big town.
