PAA: I haven’t noticed a significant differentiation in the ideological leanings of the editorials versus the articles (or “news”) in each magazine but comparing the overall, though generally (but not always) very subtly expressed, weltanschauung of each of the periodicals I’ve found a noticeably greater left-leaning outlook in Ami than in Mishpacha. And without doubt these prejudices are visible on the editorials as well as the feature articles and news coverage present, respectfully, in each publication. But both journals are to the left of the moderate yeshiva world. (Defining moderate as being the worldview of, say, Rav Shteinman, Rav Chaim and the Novominsker versus the more right-wing worldview of, say, Brisk, Rav Auerbach and Rav Shternbuch.)
