> 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.
I 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).
I 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.
