Is Moskovsky Komsomolets left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Moskovsky Komsomolets as Center within Russia'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 Russia, Meduza is listed as Left-leaning, while RT and TASS are listed as Right-leaning — so you can open Moskovsky Komsomolets beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Moskovsky Komsomolets beside another title from Russia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Tabloid front pages compress the day into one dominant image and a short, emphatic headline, so with Moskovsky Komsomolets the editorial choice is mostly in what earns that single slot — and what is pushed off the page entirely. Because Moskovsky Komsomolets is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Russia either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
