Is Naharnet left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?

Crosswire lists Naharnet as Center within Lebanon'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 Naharnet beside another title from Lebanon and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on Naharnet 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 Naharnet is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Lebanon title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
