Forth says it is "an Irish online publication that seeks to dig beneath the surface issues covered in the news and offer a fresh perspective on Irish, European and global affairs."[1]

Its answer to the question, "What are forth's politics?" is:

forth is unaligned but considers itself progressive, however vague that term has become in recent years. Our main objective is to bring clarity to the issues we cover and challenge conventional thinking.[2]

Forth is notable for its significant connections with the LM network.
