Is Emarat Al Youm left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

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