How Crosswire groups National Post
Crosswire groups National Post as Right-leaning for comparisons within Canada's directory. This is an approximate Crosswire label, not a verified rating of its individual articles or a claim that every journalist shares one position. In Canada, CBC News and Toronto Star are listed as Left-leaning, while The Globe and Mail and CTV News are listed as Centrist — so you can open National Post beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Compare National Post with another outlet from Canada covering the same event and edition. Record the headline, publication time, named sources and links to original evidence. Similar leaning labels can still produce different coverage; a different label does not guarantee an independent source. Check the articles before interpreting a front-page difference as bias.
This is an approximate orientation, not a definitive judgement — and not a rating of quality or accuracy. Read how Crosswire classifies editorial leanings. This profile does not include an individual assessment citation. Page updated ; this is a content-change date, not a fresh fact-check of the outlet. Think this label is wrong? Suggest a correction.
