I love how any right wing politician is “far right” now a days. The media really is just so trustworthy and unbiased

[britinpa]

Calling a conservative moderate 'far right' proves just how 'far left' today's media have become.

[mathurex]

Why is every right-wing candidate "far-right" while the far-left is "just an idea"...

Our media is horseshit.

[Me-thgj]

You can always tell who these news companies are rooting for.

I love how “far right” is now a blanket statement for anyone with an opposing view point lol

“Anyone who’s left of Stalin is considered far-right” - CBS

If CBS calls Le Pen "far right", you know she is a moderate.

Thank God for mainstream media telling us what to think otherwise I would have to form my own opinions!

[ericpitre]

I like how they call it “far right”. How bout far leftist when a leftist runs?

[fanndisgoldbraid]

Do you mean "Le Pen to face with far left nutball Macaroon"? That sounds more accurate.

[joespice]

I love how they try to label Le Pen as a far-right "extremist" and act like Macron is like some moderate.

[LetterSignedBySpiesWasA-Coup]

I wonder if they would ever use the adjective “right” instead of “far right.” It’s almost like they are producing propaganda.

[tobinheincy]

Lmao, calls a moderate populist "far right".

[deanayer]

Far right, far right, far right...and by far right they mean NORMAL

[Pablo.]

the french have forgotten how the police beat them with clubs👍

[m.b.]

Far right 🤣
I guess it’s better than the far left like all of msm these days 😂 you guys gotta realize you’re not cheerleaders for the democratic party or you will remain as a big joke that you’ve become 😂

[numarkaz]

She is not far right. The media lies. How irresponsible.

[Jade-Moon]

so why didn't you write "far left macron"? your bias is showing a bit too much.. if she was left wing we'd be hearing non stop about how great it is that shes a woman

[newblood]

"Far right" what the heck does that even mean anymore

[sonnykim]

Yes. La Pen stands for everything that France represents and that includes religion. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I don’t see anyone going to 22 Arab countries and shaming them for standing strong for Islam. Have a safe and meaningful Palm Sunday everyone.
