Why

• The mean lean is 1.47 (n=30), with 18 of 30 articles at +2 or +3 and only 2 left of the midpoint. This shows a clear right-leaning position.
• The outlet criticises New Democracy and Mitsotakis from the right. It labels the Centre "extreme" and adopts as its own conclusion that New Democracy's problem lies on the right. It also promotes Karamanlis over Mitsotakis.
• On identity and migration issues it moves in a conservative-nationalist direction. It uses polemics against "progressives" and "rights advocates", derogatory language for migrants, positive framing of closing the door to political Islam, and sarcasm toward Brussels.
• On national issues its stance is hard-line. It describes government policy as "retreat", the Prespa Agreement as "abominable", and ironises "pro-Turkish" positions.
• Tone toward the government is strongly negative: −1.08 across 26 references. The evidence includes characterisations such as "outrageous" stance, "shame amendment", "Faulocracy", "timidity", a disparaging depiction of a minister, and attribution of self-serving motives.
• The opposition is also treated negatively (tone −0.82, n=11), especially the Centre space and the Papandreou family. Therefore criticism of the government does not come from a centre-left standpoint.
• The style is strongly interventionist: loaded language 3.54, commentary within news 3.63, headline–body gap 2.2, opinions 39%. There are also 18 anonymous sources, often presented as unquestionable.
