Walla

Crosswire lists Walla 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 Walla beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Walla beside another title from Israel and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on Walla the editorial signal is in the ordering and in which syndicated stories get promoted next to the original reporting — read it beside a single-newsroom title and the difference in what each chooses to carry is immediate. Because Walla 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.
