The New York Times is such a great paper. No wonder it has survived so long, having been founded in 1851
Yea they are probably one of the most popular newspaper companies. 
That's for sure. It is ranked 18th in the entire world for circulation
 Wow that is impressive. Do you know who started the paper company?
It has been owned since the 1890s by the Sulzberger family. 
Interesting. Do you read it often? I have heard of them but never read their papers.
I used to read it a lot more than I do now, I didn't renew my subscription. It is pretty interesting though.
Would you say they have a biased point of view?
It's hard to say for sure. But considering it is a national newspaper of record, being one of the mmost prolific in the country, I would imagine they are pretty impartial.
That is a great point. That may be why they are so highly regarded.
