The Wall Street Journal
U.S. center-right
The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp, which is controlled by the Murdoch family, and is one of the largest and most widely read newspapers in the United States. Its news coverage is rated broadly centrist by media analysts, while its opinion section is consistently right-leaning. Its relationship with the Trump second-term administration has been contentious: the editorial board has publicly criticized some Trump policies, Trump sued the paper for $10 billion over a 2025 Epstein-related story, and Trump has pressured Murdoch about the paper's editorial leadership.
