Is Lefaso.net left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Lefaso.net as Center within Burkina Faso'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 Lefaso.net beside another title from Burkina Faso and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on Lefaso.net the editorial signal is in the ordering and in which syndicated stories get promoted next to the original reporting — read it beside a single-newsroom title and the difference in what each chooses to carry is immediate. Because Lefaso.net is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Burkina Faso title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
