Is Democratic Voice of Burma left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

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