How Crosswire groups FrontPage Africa

Crosswire groups FrontPage Africa as Centrist for comparisons within Liberia's directory. Center includes both centrist outlets and outlets for which the directory has no confident classification. It is not evidence that this outlet is neutral or more accurate.

Compare FrontPage Africa with another outlet from Liberia covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.
