We aren't the only ones with biased news. Reuters refers to Le Pen as "far-right," but would never refer to Macron as "far left" which he is. They either call him progressive or neglect to label him. News is no longer news.

Macron isn't far left. He's whatever his puppeteers want him to be. It just happens to be "left" these days. If he had had better chances at becoming president by being "right", he'd have gone for that.

Thanks, I didn't know that. My point is, any position the liberals do not like is labeled in the press
as far right. It is journalistic bias. One problem, is that gradually being far right for real will be considered OK. Isn't that a danger of irresponsible journalism?

Progressive. Proof that new does not mean better.

2019-05-23 | French far-right tops poll, EU vote turns into Le Pen/Macron duel - Reuters

'PARIS (Reuters) - Support in France has risen for both Marine Le Pen’s far-right party and President Emmanuel Macron’s candidates three days before voting in the European parliament elections, an opinion poll showed. '

'That was two points ahead of Macron’s Republic On the Move party, which was seen up one percentage point from the previous poll last week at 23 percent. '

'Macron, who has been campaigning in recent days, has framed the elections as a battle between anti-immigration nationalists and pro-European “progressives” such as himself. '

'Le Pen’s National Rally remained in the lead in voting intentions, according to the survey by OpinionWay for Les Echos newspaper published on Thursday, inching up one percentage point to a recent high of 25 percent. '

'Interest for the EU election campaign is picking up in the final days before the vote, the survey showed, and turnout may be higher than in the previous elections in 2014. '
