Is The Times of Israel left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists The Times of Israel as Center within Israel's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side. In Israel, Haaretz is listed as Left-leaning, while The Jerusalem Post and Arutz Sheva are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open The Times of Israel beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read The Times of Israel beside another title from Israel and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Digital-native outlets reorder their front pages continuously in response to reader behaviour, so The Times of Israel may look different an hour from now — reload it alongside a print-cycle title and you can see which stories have staying power and which are traffic spikes. Because The Times of Israel is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Israel title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
