I get complaints about bias, but are they factually inaccurate?

sometimes? hard to make a comprehensive statement about that

You're going to have to do better if you're saying they're on the level of Fox News. Don't chuck out the baby with the bathwater. Ignore the opinion page, ignore some of their editorial choices, but I have not seen major retractions from them.
-
the most eye-opening thing for me was the coverage of the Sanders primary campaign. there were several incidents where they actually had falsehoods in news stories which were then stealth-edited out of the story a few hours later without a correction/retraction statement
-
this is from a few years ago and they did publish an apology/retraction but it should give you some reasonable doubt that the Times is actually good at fact checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayson_Blair …

I can't; my parents think it's an arbiter of truth.

YOU can. you know better. you aren't limited by your parents' flaws.
-
It means I'm forced to pay attention by proxy. It doesn't mean I have to subscribe.
-
what if you don't? what if you told your parents "I think the Times has become a hollowed out shell of what it presents itself as and is now more-or-less on the same level as Fox News but with opposite partisan commitments"
-
They'd shrug but I'd never have a chance to actually engage with them, then.

I stopped reading it but everyone won’t stop talking about it

guilty as charged. if it matters, I'm only talking about it now so we can not talk about it ever again (hopefully).

I agree. I intend to exclusively reference it via http://archive.is , and solely when no equivalently useful document is available.
-
it's not even like their news reporting was good either. there's no loss in just forgetting about it entirely.
