Le Point

Le Point is generally regarded as right-leaning in its editorial orientation, according to widely cited media-bias assessments of France's press. In France, Libération and Mediapart are listed as Left-leaning, while Le Monde and Le Parisien are listed as Centrist — so you can open Le Point beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.

Read Le Point beside another title from France and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Weeklies work on a longer cycle than dailies, so Le Point is usually arguing about the week's events rather than reporting them first — its front page is a better guide to interpretation than to breaking news. Because Le Point is listed as right-leaning, the sharpest contrast is usually a left-leaning title from France on the same morning: the facts rarely differ, but which consequence is treated as the story often does.
