I don't think the NYT is untrustworthy wholesale. They still break some stories early, have insider sources for political stories, etc
But they're also very much an outlet committed to making money over most else, have no sympathy for explicit anti-capitalism, and will run just the worst op-eds from the worst people.
Yeah, this post feels like classic splitting. I think Gell-Mann amnesia is a real thing that more people need to be conscientious of, but that just means you should be critical of what you're reading. There are few major newspapers I would seriously blanket consider "untrustworthy", and the NYT is categorically not one of them. Sowing black-and-white distrust in generally reliable press is exactly the bullshit the far-right and disinformation farms (whatever the difference even is now) want.
