These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

Analysis / Bias
In review, iefimerida.gr publishes articles with minimally loaded emotional language such as “Summit: Mitsotakis insists on Greece’s positions in Brussels” and publishes articles critical of the left opposition Syriza “Mr. Tsipras is in danger from… his associates!”. In comparison, the coverage of center-right PM Mitsotakis is positive in tone “Mitsotakis from Corfu: Attracting foreign investments is a priority of the government.” Iefimerida.gr generally sources through quotes and does not provide hyperlinks.
When covering the USA, such as the Trump Administration, they use a critical tone “Coronavirus: Cases rise, President Trump’s popularity plummets.” They generally hold a right-leaning editorial bias and sometimes do not report news factually.
