Is The Post left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists The Post as Center within New Zealand'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 The Post beside another title from New Zealand and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two New Zealand dailies covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are The Post's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because The Post is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning New Zealand title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
