Trump-friendly on multiple issues for her RW Ellsion overlords. Her 'left-leaning centrist' schtick went out the window years ago.

Weiss has been described as conservative by Haaretz, The Times of Israel, The Daily Dot, and Business Insider. In a 2019 interview with Joe Rogan, she called herself a "left-leaning centrist". According to The Washington Post, Weiss "portrays herself as a liberal uncomfortable with the excesses of left-wing culture" and has sought to "position herself as a reasonable liberal concerned that far-left critiques stifled free speech". Vanity Fair has called Weiss "a provocateur". The Jewish Telegraphic Agency said that her work "doesn't lend itself easily to labels".
The Times of Israel reported that her public fight with The New York Times made her a hero among some conservatives. According to The New York Times, when asked to share something that informed her values at a team retreat, she chose a clip from the show Transparent, which features a trans protagonist. Bari reportedly chose it because "she never wanted to forget the humanity of those with whom she vehemently disagrees".
Weiss has expressed support for Israel and Zionism in her columns. When writer Andrew Sullivan described her as an "unhinged Zionist", she responded that she "happily plead[s] guilty as charged". As of 2024, Weiss had visited Israel over 15 times, including after the October 7 attacks, and compared pro-Israel social media commentators to former Soviet refusenik Natan Sharansky, whose years in prison made him an icon of the movement to free Jews from the Soviet Union.
In 2018, she said she believed the sexual assault allegations against U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh but questioned whether they should disqualify him from serving on the Supreme Court, because he was 17 when he allegedly assaulted Christine Blasey Ford. After backlash in the press, Weiss conceded that her sound bite was glib and simplistic, and said instead that Kavanaugh's "rage-filled behavior" before the Senate Judiciary Committee should have disqualified him.

The New York Times described The Free Press as "an unflinching alternative to traditional media organizations." David Klion wrote in The Guardian that Bari Weiss "has used The Free Press to empower rightwing factions within established elite institutions" to suppress progressive and pro-Palestine views. He cited as examples, The Free Press's criticism of NPR and their reporting on the Trump administration investigation into alleged antisemitism at Columbia University.
Conservative commentator Andrew Sullivan has criticized The Free Press for what he views as its reluctance to stand up for the free-speech rights of anti-Israel activists. Writing for The New Statesman, the liberal journalist Ross Barkan described the organization as "unapologetically hawkish and anti-Palestinian". The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft described it as "a pro-Israel media outlet often sympathetic to the neoconservative worldview". Politico described it as a "conservative digital media outlet". CNN described it as a "conservative leaning publication".
