le monde is oligarchy-owned garbage

le monde diplomatique and mediapart are a lot more independent, and (maybe correlated) leaning a lot more on the left

how would you assess le monde relative to the new york times?

[speedgoose]

LeMonde has the French point of view, the NewYorkTimes has the USA one. You should probably read both once in a while. I'm French and I think the NewYorkTimes tends to see everything with the USA point of view, and sometimes totally fails to understand and explain correctly. See this article from The Guardian for example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/16/macron-france-...

But LeMonde is perhaps a bit too French regarding some events such as the African wars involving France. So having the USA point of view can be useful too.
