Is Al Arabiya left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Al Arabiya as Center within Saudi Arabia'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 Al Arabiya beside another title from Saudi Arabia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Broadcast newsrooms build around what can be shown and who can be booked, so Al Arabiya's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because Al Arabiya is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Saudi Arabia either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
