Bias Reviews

We use multiple methods to analyze sources. Learn how we rate media bias.

A June 2023 AllSides Independent Review found that Western Journal is transparent about its bias. Its About page states (retrieved June 6, 2023): “Editorially, The Western Journal upholds traditional Christian values as articulated in the Bible… Politically, The Western Journal advocates for broadly conservative positions on most issues, including abortion, national defense, small government, marriage, tax policy and individual freedom.”

A previous AllSides review circa 2016 found Western Journalism (Western Journal's previous moniker) stated it featured "conservative, libertarian, free market and pro-family writers and broadcasters."

Confidence Level

Confidence is determined by how many reviews have been applied and consistency of data.

As of June 2026, AllSides has medium confidence in our Right rating for The Western Journal. An Editorial Review or Blind Bias Survey has affirmed this rating, or multiple reviews have returned differing results. If we perform more bias reviews and gather consistent data, this confidence level will increase.
