Whittier Daily News
AllSides gives Whittier Daily News a Center rating. In June 2020, an AllSides editor conducted an independent review of Whittier Daily News and gave them an initial rating of Center. Note that a Center bias does not necessarily mean a source is unbiased, neutral, or always reasonable. It simply means the source does not predictably publish opinions and content biased toward either side of the political spectrum.
