Why we place Washington Examiner as Establishment / Center-Right
The Examiner is a conservative Washington daily that covers politics at newsroom speed for a Republican-leaning audience, closer in temperament to the party establishment than to the populist media ecosystem. AllSides rates it Lean Right, and its beat-driven, insider register is why we file it here rather than with the MAGA outlets.
