No, it is not "endless".

As with any organization, there are problems and they are dealt with. The NYTimes has a reputation for accuracy that is above most other newspapers.   They set standards and when problems arise, it becomes news - primarly because simple minded critics love pouncing on an open wound.   That is so much easier to do then to examine the reaction the newspaper had to the issue and what they did to fix it.
