Are Liberals Functionally Treasonable?

In an interview with WorldNetDaily Editor Joseph Farrah, Ann Coulter describes her new book, Treason, as follows:

"My indictment is of the entire Democratic Party, all of liberalism. This is a party that has become functionally treasonable."

I don't know exactly how one would define "functionally treasonable," but Robert Koehler over at The Marmot's Hole has discussed the result of the New York Times' recognized liberalism as he sees it playing out on the Korean peninsula.

"If a North Korea free of nuclear weapons is your goal, then you have to make the North Koreans believe that their possession of nuclear weapons constitutes a clear and present danger to their regime survival. Right now, they do not believe that. Why? Because they read the New York Times just like eveyone else, and therefore have naturally come to the conclusion that the Americans will pay them before things get too hairy. Trust me, if the New York Times came out tomorrow with an editorial that read "BOMB THE FUCKERS," you can rest assured that the North Koreans would significantly lower their demands. Yet their (accurate) reading of the history of US-DPRK relations and their (also correct) understanding of the American press encourages them to be as obstinate as humanly possible. They need to be broken of this habit, and the best way to do that is to ignore them.

Being an expatriate American living in Korea, Robert extensively analyzes and reports on the tactics and underlying strategies of North Korea so his conclusions are well founded. Here he states that North Korean obstinacy is generally the result of them taking their cues from the liberal press, in particular, the NYT. Since this obstinacy is impeding diplomatic progress being achieved between the US and North Korea, could an argument be made that the NYT is aiding North Korea in sabotaging diplomacy?

If the answer to that question is yes, then can the reporting and opinions in the NYT be considered "functionally treasonable" and consistent with Ann Coulter's contention? I'll let the readers decide.
