Is Daily FT left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Daily FT is listed as Center on Crosswire: like most business and financial dailies it is read across the political spectrum, with an editorial line defined more by markets than by party politics.
Read Daily FT beside another title from Sri Lanka and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so Daily FT will often lead on something the general press buries — and describe the same policy in the language of cost and risk rather than fairness. Because Daily FT is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Sri Lanka either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
