Analysis / Bias
This review reflects the content found on the website jewishjournal.com. In review, the Jewish Journal publishes news geared to the greater Los Angeles Jewish Community. They often cover culture, religion, politics, and some general news. The website publishes a section called “Best of the Web”, that republishes full or summary articles from other sources. Some of the sources used are the Left-Leaning The Week, New Republic, Slate, and Mother Jones. They also utilize some right-leaning sites such as the Washington Examiner, Wall Street Journal, and Fox News.
Original news reporting typically is low biased on a left-right spectrum but often favors Israel, such as this: CA Dem Party Criticizes Israeli Treatment of Palestinian Children, Condems Anti-Zionism. Editorially, the Jewish Journal features columnists such as David Suissa, Karen Bloch, Ben Shapiro, and Scmuel Rosner. Reviewing and researching these columnists, two lean conservative and two lean liberal. However, in general, more stories tend to favor the right slightly.
