Is CTV News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
CTV News is positioned toward the editorial center of Canada's media spectrum, or its orientation is mixed or not consistently classified by the major media-bias assessments. Crosswire groups Canada outlets into left, center and right so you can read the same day's events from more than one vantage point: seeing CTV News beside outlets of a different orientation makes editorial choices — which stories lead, which framing is used, what gets omitted — far easier to spot than reading any single source alone.
Leanings shown on Crosswire are approximate editorial orientations drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments (such as AllSides, Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check) and from each outlet's reputation. They are offered to help you read the same story from different perspectives — not as definitive or exhaustive judgements. Where a confident rating was unavailable, an outlet is shown as centrist. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings.
