Is Origo left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Origo is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments — a stance that shapes which stories this digital-native outlet chooses to pursue. In Hungary, 444 and Telex are listed as Left-leaning, while Index is listed as Centrist — so you can open Origo beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Origo beside another title from Hungary and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on Origo 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 Origo is listed as right-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a left-leaning title from Hungary on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
