This was among the best news sites on the Internet until they started charging a fee to read the Op-Ed section. This, of course, is the section of the paper that most people confuse with the regular news reporting and then claim the paper has a liberal bias. Sell ads for the ca$h, but let us read Krugman, Kristof, Dowd and, yes, even Brooks gratis.

News is supposed to be balanced and unbiased. This paper is neither, plus is has documented liars and plagiarists writing for it.

The worste in news reporting. Its funny that the majority of high ratings are due to site functionality. I would agree with that but a majority of readers would rather have accurate information over easily accessible sludge that this institution puts forth. Wake up and look somewhere else for 'news'.

Another "left leaning" site...leans left at about a 89.5 degree angle. Waste of time.

The New York Times On the Web is probably the best one on this list, because they give you so much information on the site, and it's extremly easy to find. Whether you want the time for a hit broadway show, or want to test your presidental I.Q., this site is #1 in News and Information.

An essential bookmark to anyone interested in current events. When you can't afford a subscription, this is the next best thing. The only downside to the nytimes.com is that you have to pay for old articles.

Wonderful - probably one of two sites I would pay for if they charged.

Have been visiting this site for 1 year+. Always full of info, easy to navigate, and looks for ways to improve site.

The quality of the writing and the depth of coverage are almost unique - in a group with the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Times of London and the Christian Science Monitor.

My first step in compiling article links.

I like the NY Times but the problem is you have to register and that's kind of annoying.

The quality and depth of content on this site is staggering. I still prefer to actually read the paper every morning, but this is a great site. Design has been improving steadily since the days when their homepage was a giant gif.

The New York Times is very informative. It is an easy read web site. It seems to have specialties in international economics.
