NYT is not liberal. It is just left of extreme right wing. NYT was a leading cheerleaders for Bush's Iraq War



It's probably roughly in line with the centrist Democrat view (which is also generally pro-war), if you don't look too hard at the prominent columns given to people like David Brooks and Ross Douthat which would drag their aggregate editorializing to the right.

So in common American usage, not liberal. If you're a socialist though, "liberal" would accurately describe the whole Democratic party, who favor somewhat regulated capitalism and mild social liberalism.
