If there is a story that might even suggest that Bush was not at fault for the story's subject, they dig in to question and verify everything. Same thing for subjects that are favorable to Bush policy.
Would that be accurate? I'm sure that you disagree.

I would say that the NYT has shown bias both ways. They certainly did not question the decision to go to war in Iraq.
Are they as biased as Fox? No. I have never heard the NYT use the word 'treason' once. Someone on Fox seems to use it every two weeks.
I would say that the administration's dominance over the press seems to have diminished as it's approval ratings drop and each new revelation of hidden policies is made. It's especially galling when the press is deliberately lied to. They tend to take it personally.
