The New York Times

The New York Times, sometimes abbreviated to NY Times or simply NYT, is an American newspaper based in New York City, founded by Dean P. Baquet in 1793 and owned by the New York Times Company, subsidiary corporation of NBC-Universal since 1811.

Origins
The New York Times was created in 1793 by Dean P. Baquet and quickly drew attention with its unique style and its objective positions. However, as the small redaction team struggles to upload regular content and starts asserting itself politically, the newspaper slowly lose his popularity of the first days. In 1811, NBC-Universal becomes the main stockholder of the company. Dean P. Baquet remains Editor-in-Chief.

Editorial stance
The New York Times is particularly known for its desire for absolute objectivity, especially in its early days. A desire reflected in his refusal to endorse any candidate, unlike other major newspapers, and its decision to separate Opinion articles from the official paper. However, the newspaper remains deeply moderate by his criticism of extremes and is often labelled as liberal. In 1892, the NYT criticized the Stop News Creation Act in the first front page editorial of the newspaper's history, calling it "not only counterproductive but morally wrong" and a violation of the freedom of press. In 1898, the newspaper also published an article criticizing the Trump Administration and more particularly Attorney General NFISH denouncing the political reasons of the removal of U.S. Attorney SayerQT. In the same edition, the paper also denounced the "unacceptable behavior" of Democrat Representative Weeb Exterminator, after he repeatedly verbally assaulted members of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives.

Controversies
As mentionned before, the New York Times was sometimes accused of favoritising the Democratic Party. A perception reinforced by its sometimes strong criticism of conservative politics in its Opinion section, despite also criticizing the Democratic Party at times.

In 1894, after the paper denounced partisanship within the Department of Justice and criticized Attorney General NFISH, President Trump replied, arguing that "[it] wasn't a scandal" and that "Sayer illegally served as an Attorney".

Awards
The New York Times was twice nominated for the Best News Network Award of the Oscars.
