Is Akhbar Al Khaleej left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Akhbar Al Khaleej as Center within Bahrain's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.

Read Akhbar Al Khaleej beside another title from Bahrain and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Bahrain dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are Akhbar Al Khaleej's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because Akhbar Al Khaleej is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Bahrain title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
