The two strongest pulls in Washington Examiner's top 10 come from opposite ends of the political media landscape: Free Beacon at 0.82 and John Boehner at 0.82, forming a two-peak structure where one peak is a fellow news publisher and the other is a politician.
The shape is two-peak, and the gap between those two anchors and the rest of the top 10 is meaningful. The Jerusalem Post (0.80) and the Israel Defense Forces (0.79) follow closely, introducing a distinct second cluster around Middle East institutional coverage — a thread that continues with Jonathan Greenblatt (0.78), an activist, and John Bolton (0.78), a politician. Tallying the top 10 by subcategory: four are News Publishers (Free Beacon, The Jerusalem Post, WSJ Editorial Page, and Times of Israel), three are Politicians (John Boehner, John Bolton, Michael Cohen), one is a Journalist (Kirsten Powers), one is a Government subcategory (Israel Defense Forces), and one is an Activist (Jonathan Greenblatt). The Washington Examiner's own subcategory — News Publishers — accounts for four of the ten neighbors, meaning the audience shape is partly self-similar but also substantially defined by politicians and figures associated with U.S.-Israel policy coverage. Anthony Scaramucci (0.76) rounds out the top 10 as a Government Official.
The two-peak structure — one peak in conservative news publishing, one in political and foreign-policy figures — suggests an audience that moves fluidly between outlet-driven and personality-driven political content.
