Just to inform our non-French friends here, here is what you should know about the strong political bias in the French press.
- Le Monde is a left-wing media, and most articles are heavily slanted towards socialist themes and PoV,
- The equivalent right-wing media (which Le Monde readers obviously call "fascists", the woke sensor is not very precise these days) is called Le Figaro https://lefigaro.fr https://lefigaro.fr
Some of the comments praise Le Monde Diplomatique, but this one is full speed communist and anti-capitalist. Its far right equivalent is Valeurs Actuelles.
Happy reading!
- Broussebar 5y agoLe monde is considered more of a center media in france, it's true in the other hand the Le Monde Diplomatique or l'humanité [1] are left-wing medias. Now saying that Valeurs Actuelles is the far right equivalent of Le monde diplo isn't fair. Valeurs Actuelles is the French equivalent of Fox news, politic aside the quality of the articles is usually very low. [1] https://www.humanite.fr/ https://www.humanite.fr/
- nicoco 5y ago>Valeurs Actuelles is the far right equivalent of Le monde diplo isn't fair. Le monde diplo often has long, dense articles written by scholars, in an almost academic style, with lots of references; plus they absolutely do not try to hide that they are expressing a critical/radical left point of view. Valeurs actuelles on the other hand will publish anything without the bare minimum cross-checking: https://www.midilibre.fr/2021/03/31/separatisme-valeurs-actuelles-piege-par-un-faux-professeur-la-fausse-information-qui-enflamme-twitter-9460503.php https://www.midilibre.fr/2021/03/31/separatisme-valeurs-actu...
- nicoco 5y agoWell, to me le monde belongs to moderate right-wing media, or at the very least enlightened centrism. It all depends on how left or right-leaning you feel I guess.
