They also do a massive amount of credible, in-depth reporting and while they deserve criticism where it is due, I can't believe the eagerness that some display to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

It's not a matter of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, it's the fundamental fact that trust takes a lifetime to build and a moment to lose.

		A baby takes nine months to make and a moment to throw out a window. Shall we keep on with analogies? I disagree it takes "a moment" for a large, multiperson organization to lose all credibility due to occasional editorial lapses. Or maybe it's because I think trust in reputable organizations is the only thing binding society together from crumbling into an AI social media abyss, that I refuse to declare NYTs credibility dead. Heck, I still support the WSJ news section even though they're owned by an enabler of the current administration.

Don’t forget that for most than one or two years they pushed “4% kill rate” for covid despite it being multiple orders of magnitude lower. The amount of people that went insane as a result of that blatant misinformation is incredibly high.

They have zero credibility as far as I’m concerned. They are just a front for goverment propaganda.
