New Discourses is not far right

Agreed, it isn't. Would it be better if GP said "two far-right tabloids and one that isn't, but sometimes gets co-opted by the far-right?"
Why do you think it is important where the facts are published when links to the source evidence used in my claim is linked to in the articles? How do you differentiate "far-right" from just conservative?
Let me explain. Far-right is simply anything to the right of the far-left. Facts are not facts unless and until they are approved facts, and fact-checked by the establishment press fact-checkers. Facts that are non-facts can turn into facts in time if they become useful to the establishment or, in rare cases, cannot be asserted while also asserting other, more important facts, without excessive contradiction. Also, to be facts, they must originate in mainstream institutions, preferably the DNC or any of the capture institutions of government. Technically, these facts are factitious, but they are not, in fact, lies. Lies are truths that contradict facts, so defined. It is important where facts are published because anything that doesn't originate in fact-based institutions can be dismissed without consideration of the merits. It is analogous to not having standing in a court case. In some cases, facts published in far-right outlets can also be published in centrist (i.e., far-left) outlets, if those facts can be spun to serve the controlling interests.
