Is UOL left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
UOL is generally regarded as left-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 Brazil, Estadão and Metrópoles are listed as Centrist, while O Globo is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open UOL beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read UOL beside another title from Brazil and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. A portal front page is part newsroom and part aggregator, so on UOL 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 UOL is listed as left-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a right-leaning title from Brazil on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
