Is Channel NewsAsia left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Channel NewsAsia as Center within Singapore'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 Channel NewsAsia beside another title from Singapore 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 Channel NewsAsia's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because Channel NewsAsia is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Singapore title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
