Irony of the New York Times and New York City

The New York Times has an inordinate amount of influence on national politics considering they are the local newspaper of the crooks on Wall Street that made money off of the backs of main street.

How many factories are there in New York City?  How much food to they produce in New York City?  How much oil do they drill/produce in NYC?

Should we really trust the local newspaper of all these crooks?
