> fact contains a multitudes of viewpoints, styles, and opinions
We must live in a very very different place then. In my country (France) the national medias (press, TV, radio) are all but left oriented. The fact that free speech is nominally guaranteed by law doesn’t means that in practice anything outside the politically correct views can be expressed. The self-censorship is heavy, and campaigns against wrongthink are numerous and fierce.
- umanwizard 7y agoLe Figaro is mainstream and not at all left-oriented.
- keiferski 7y agoBeing left is not mutually exclusive with being mainstream. The NY Times is perhaps the classic example of a left-oriented establishment paper.

- umanwizard 7y agoI don’t understand what this has to do with my comment. I was just pointing out an example of a mainstream conservative paper in France, not claiming that left-leaning papers don’t exist. (I don’t read NYT enough to know whether it’s left-oriented, so I’ll take your word for it).
- keiferski 7y agoI think maybe I misread your comment, then. I thought you were saying that Le Figaro is mainstream and therefore not left-associated, as if these were separate categories.
- umanwizard 7y agoThe person I was responding to claimed that media in France is “all but left-oriented”. I was providing a major counterexample.
