These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

• Overall, We rate JNS right biased editorially as most op-eds favor the Israeli right. For example, in this op-ed, there is the use of emotionally loaded language such as “As Americans have learned in the last year as President Trump had to cope with the burden of the Mueller probe into Russian collusion, democracy can function even under such difficult circumstances.” JNS also has a pro-Netanyahu bias when it comes to Israeli politics. Overall, we rate JNS Right-Center biased and High for factual reporting.
