You must not read the NYT much. I just took a glance at their homepage and less than 1/3 of the articles are on US politics. The vast majority of their articles I see on HN have a wide variety of interesting topics -
> They Could Buy, but Why? Meet the High-Renters
> Google, Not the Government, Is Building the Future
> Lyft and Waymo Reach Deal to Collaborate on Self-Driving Cars
> Noncompete Clauses: Signing Away the Right to Get a New Job
> How Harvard Business School Has Reshaped American Capitalism
> China's $1T Plan to Shake Up the Economic Order
> Google is transforming public education with low-cost laptops and free apps
Honestly, I really don't understand how anyone, regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum, can wholesale dismiss the NYT. They do good reporting, solid analysis, and if you don't like their editorial board (just as I have little liking for the WSJ editorial board) - don't read them. This tendency to stick with a limited set a source(s) you agree with is at the core dysfunction of the US government today, imo.

If you believe this, you should definitely not read much of any single source. Including the NYT. Unless you have time to read much of many sources, which makes it full-time job.
Though I'd agree with you that if you skip reporting on current US politics, part of the world politics (e.g. all Middle East reporting) and any editorial content on left's causes du jour, NYT may be not that bad.
