On balance, NY Times leans neither conservative nor progressive.
But they are wholly committed defenders of the status quo. And if the status quo is Liberal, Neoliberal, War on Terror, or whatever, then so is NY Times.
Most other medias fall within the Overton Window (boundaries for acceptible discourse) as defined by NY Times. Including explicitly partisan outlets like GOP.tv, OANN, breitbart, etc.

Social media, on the other hand, has a troll bias. And given the quirks of human psyche, a bias towards fear and outrage, social media is best exploited by right wing actors.
Not that left wing actors don't try. It's just not as effective, so left wing story lines have terrible traction.
