RIGHT-CENTER BIAS

These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

Analysis / Bias
CJN reports news with a very strong pro-Israel bias. When reporting national and international news, CJN presents with a right-center bias in story selection. There is minimal use of loaded language, and for the most part, all information is well-sourced. In general, they hold a Zionist perspective and offer an editorial perspective that favors the right-leaning government of Israel: Don’t believe the cynics: Israel’s new government may be durable. Although partisan, there is no evidence of false information, but it is one-sided.
