RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
- Overall, we rate Boulevard Voltaire as far-right biased due to consistently one-sided story selection and the frequent use of inflammatory or ideological framing in political/cultural coverage. We also rate them mixed for factual reporting because articles often rely on assertion-heavy commentary with limited neutral sourcing and minimal balance.

Analysis / Bias
Boulevard Voltaire is a partisan commentary-driven news/opinion site that frames politics and culture through a conservative-nationalist lens, often using adversarial or emotive language. For example, in from politicization to desecration: numerous attacks on nativity scenes this Christmas 2025, the piece uses ideologically loaded framing (e.g., demographic-replacement rhetoric) while offering limited balancing context or neutral sourcing.
In politics coverage, the outlet spotlights right-wing coalition logic and normalizes far-right electoral outcomes in an interview format, as seen in “In the event of a Mélenchon–Le Pen duel, I will personally vote for Mr. Le Pen!” A longer-running example of anti-immigration framing appears in many young people have realized that moving abroad means giving up their place to an immigrant. Overall, sourcing varies by article type, but these examples rely more on narrative assertion and ideological framing than on transparent, document-based evidence, contributing to a far-right bias classification.
