Is The Daily Star left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists The Daily Star as Center within Bangladesh'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 The Daily Star beside another title from Bangladesh and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two Bangladesh 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 The Daily Star's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because The Daily Star is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Bangladesh title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
