Le Figaro
FranceLe Figaro is a French national daily newspaper based in Paris, founded in 1826 and among the oldest titles in France. Its headlines focus on France, followed by the United States, Iran, Ukraine and Israel. Politics leads the mix, with security and society close together and economy smaller. Its stance is neutral toward France, respectful though not uncritical toward President Emmanuel Macron, and increasingly critical toward Donald Trump.
Political leaning and stance
Le Figaro's headlines treat France neutrally and Emmanuel Macron with respect but not uncritically, amplifying his announcements while occasionally adding a skeptical angle. Jeffrey Epstein is covered in consistently hostile terms. Donald Trump starts the year as a powerful newsmaker whose statements are amplified, then reads as critical but not uniformly hostile from spring on, with foreign-policy setbacks foregrounded. The United States follows a similar path between neutral and critical. Iran is treated with critical distance. This is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
Who owns Le Figaro
