- throwaway1892 10y agoI don't where you get that from, but in France, most of the media are left-center left, with a few to the right.
- janoc 10y agoThat's what you get when you generalize over all media and, especially, not knowing any of them. European media are on both sides of the aisle, you will find both left and right leaning ones, including crazy tabloids. However, what you likely won't find is something like Fox News, with conspiracy theory pushing nutcases being regulars there. BTW, this theory about a "media conspiracy" is not new, nor something that Trump or Putin invented. Lügenpresse ("lying press") is a term widely popularized by (not invented) and mostly associated with National Socialists in Germany - in Hitler's Mein Kampf, for example. Most people parroting this unfortunately don't care - anyone having a different view has to be a part of some complot or aiding the "enemy" (whoever that happens to be).
- gspetr 10y ago> The media are not the left. They most definitely are. Consider the media closely working with the White House now, Obama's "entourage". Not one of them is Republican.
