Why

The average slant of the articles coded is +0.79 (n=14), with 11 articles at +1, one at +2 and just two at −1. This indicates a mild centre-right orientation.
Tone towards the government is positive (+0.43, n=28) and towards the opposition slightly negative (−0.14, n=14). Government sources (33) clearly outnumber opposition sources (11).
Many articles rely exclusively on government sources, without rebuttal or independent verification, in the style of a press release.
Headlines promote the government positively or adopt its message. There are also evaluative formulations by the writer in favour of the government, as well as explicit praise of its fiscal stance.
On national issues the outlet adopts the official description “illegal” for the Turkish-Libyan memorandum in its own voice and faithfully relays the positions of the Foreign Ministry.
There is, however, also room for the opposition and for right-wing criticism of Samaras. Some articles rely exclusively on statements from the opposition, while one presents both sides in a balanced way. This moderates the picture towards centre-right rather than clearly right-wing.
Coverage unfavourable to the government exists, but it is mainly neutral. Examples are the Technical Chamber's report on Gkrava and the criticism of Samaras.
