The NY Times has a "green" reputation in some circles. Nothing could be further from the truth. The first two articles below, as if one was not sufficient, amount to a subtle defense of GM foods. The third makes the case for re-introducing DDT. The fourth explains that many African-American activists have seen the "wisdom" of relaxing environmental standards in their communities in order to lure corporate development. When you add to this the regular reporting of the outrageous Gina Kolata, who has made a career out of whitewashing corporate criminals, especially with respect to their role in producing carcinogens, you end up with a very "brown" newspaper of record.
