    I’ve seen at least two “media bias” sites mark The Times of Israel as “leans left”. Media Bias Fact Check and Ground News.

    This isn’t the first piece I’ve read from there that’s raised my eyebrows.

      Reminder that Media Bias Fact Check pretends centrism and being unbiased are the same. Their rating is on a one dimensional line from “extreme left bias” to “extreme right bias”. The center is labeled “least biased”.

        “Kill all Palestinians!” - Biased, right wing.

        “Do not kill any Palestinians!” - Biased, left wing.

        “Kill only half of the Palestinians.” - Least biased.
