Is Montsame left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Montsame is listed as Center on Crosswire: news agencies supply reporting to outlets across the whole spectrum, which rewards a deliberately neutral news style.
Read Montsame beside another title from Mongolia and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Agency copy is written to be resold to outlets across the spectrum, so Montsame is a useful baseline: compare its plain account of an event with how partisan titles in Mongolia headline the same wire story, and the framing each adds becomes visible by subtraction. Because Montsame is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Mongolia either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
