Is Press TV left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Press TV is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments — visible in its choice of stories, guests and framing on air. In Iran, Mehr News Agency and Iran International are listed as Centrist — so you can open Press TV beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read Press TV beside another title from Iran and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Broadcast newsrooms build around what can be shown and who can be booked, so Press TV's online front page tends to track its on-air running order — watch which stories carry video and which are text-only. Because Press TV is listed as right-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a left-leaning title from Iran on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
