This is a story from The NYTimes (and The Washington Post) which are both credible news outlets.

The NY Times and Washington Post are both reputable media outlets with a long history of reliable reporting. They stand by their story. We will no doubt get it "fleshed out" in due course, as we did re the Washington Post's "Deep Throat", which brought down the Nixon government.
Right... "credible".

Which is to say that the actual information is (often) accurate, but the paper acts positively to influence opinion based on that information. What they print needs to be read with care. That need is demonstrated by headlines which conflict with or misrepresent the facts of the story. They are also selective with regard to coverage: don't expect any positive stories to be printed unless those stories reflect their political aims or ideology. Don't expect them to print stories where the facts conflict with their agenda.A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence (Learn More).

nuff said.These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.FOX (deemed further from centre than CNN.)These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes.

As for the "loaded words" I really noticed that while looking for stories concerning the migrant caravans coming from Central America refusing amnesty in Mexico (thus putting the lie to the claim that they were just fleeing persecution and violence). For instance, both papers likened Mexico's offer as a "scheme."
