Is Metrópoles left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Metrópoles as Center within Brazil'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. In Brazil, Folha de S.Paulo and UOL are listed as Left-leaning, while O Globo is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Metrópoles beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Metrópoles beside another title from Brazil and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on Metrópoles 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 Metrópoles is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Brazil either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
