The author is looking at it wrong. The person that prefers Joe Rogan may not be consciously aware of it, but he does so out of simple us vs. them logic. They've intuited that the Times is hostile to them, and so they quite reasonably regard them with suspicion. Even if they're more accurate on each individual story, the overall selection of stories and angle from which they are covered is biased against them. Let's look at some of these stories:

The Angry White Male Caucus; Trumpism is all about the fear of losing traditional privilege. - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/01/opinion/kavanaugh-white-m...

A school that is 1/30 black made a video. Their demographics were reflected in this video. This is very bad. In a Homecoming Video Meant to Unite Campus, Almost Everyone Was White - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/01/us/university-of-wisconsi...

A white majority is a problem to be fixed: New Hampshire, 94 Percent White, Asks: How Do You Diversify a Whole State? - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/27/us/new-hampshire-white-di...

When it reflects poorly on whites, race is so important to a story it is featured in the title: A Black Virginia Girl Says White Classmates Cut Her Dreadlocks at a Playground - https://web.archive.org/web/20190927202007/https://www.nytim...

And not all that important otherwise: Update: Virginia Girl Recants Story of Assault, and Family Apologizes - https://web.archive.org/web/20191001003852/https://www.nytim...

We Can Replace Them - In Georgia, a chance to rebuke white nationalism. - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/opinion/stacey-abrams-geo...

How White Women Use Themselves as Instruments of Terror: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/opinion/racism-white-wome...

Indian boys attack black girls, white people are to blame: Instead of asking what the boys’ reported racial identity tells us about the nature of the attack, we should see the boys as enacting American whiteness through anti-black assault in a very traditional way. - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/26/opinion/new-jersey-high-s...

Whites are 43% of NYC's population, but are underrepresented in its gifted & talented programs, at 35%. But the NYT puts them in the "white or Asian" category, to trick the reader into thinking they are overrepresented: Though about 70 percent of the roughly 1 million public school students in New York are Black and Latino, about 75 percent of the roughly 16,000 students in gifted elementary school classes are white or Asian American. - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/nyregion/gifted-talented-...

Let Refugees Settle Italy’s Empty Spaces - https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/04/opinion/let-refugees-sett...

Whites have no shared culture and history: Why We’re Capitalizing Black - The Times has changed its style on the term’s usage to better reflect a shared cultural identity. [..] white doesn’t represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does, and also has long been capitalized by hate groups. - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/05/insider/capitalized-black...

Except when it's time to feel guilty: How Can I Cure My White Guilt? The thing about privilege is that it can be used for good. - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/14/style/white-guilt-privile...

Do you notice a pattern? But perhaps I've committed the same sin that I accuse the Times of - cherry-picking stories to fit a pre-determined agenda. If you believe this, then I welcome you, dear reader, to assemble a similar set of articles from the Times, but instead of targeting whites, they should target Blacks, Latinos, Asians, or Jews, and disprove my thesis.
