I looked at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel_controversies
I read this but how would you say the below as pertains to the above page?
In USA, it seems each newspaper and news television channels have a point of view? How would you say this?
Each newspaper has its point of view. Some are from right wing and some from left wing.
Is it true that some newspapers are right wing and others are left wing?
Is using 'wing' correct? Do I say are from a different party? Do you say some newspapers are republican and others are democratic? How would you phrase this yourself?
Some are from right wing and some from left wing.
Would you describe a paper as republican or right wing?
How would you have put the sentence?
Some newspapers are right wing and others are left wing.
Some newspapers are from the right wing and others are from the left wing.
Some newspapers belong to the right wing and others to the left wing.
Isn't democrat a noun not an adjective?
Thanks

Can I say that a TV news program has its point of view?
In the article this is written:
Fox News was rightward-leaning.
It does lean to the right.
Fox does tilt right.
If there were right and left wing news programs, how could I say this sentence?
Some are from right wing and some from left wing.
If a newspaper slants towards the right, could yo

You need to understand that when you say "wing" you mean "way over to the right/left." It's FAR right or FAR left.
Someone who leans left is not "left wing." Someone who leans right is not "right wing."
Therefore all of your sentences including "wing" are not giving the right information.
Someone who leans left is not "left wing." Someone who leans right is not "right wing."

Are you saying that wing is the equivalent of 'They are slanted toward the far right'
For he sake of grammar, had that been the case, which 'wing' sentence would be the correct one?
Barbara, above I used the word pertains, could I have used it or is it incorrect?

To the contrary, I am saying that "wing" is the equivalent of "very far over." "Slant" is "a little bit over."
Let's say we have a number line from -10 through 0 to +10. 0 would be completel neutral. -1, -2, maybe -3 would be "left leaning" or "slanted to the left." 1, 2, maybe 3would be "right leaning" or "slanted to the right." -8,-9, or -10 would be "left wing" and 8, 9 or 10 would be

I totally understand what you are saying
That's why I wrote : 'They are slanted toward the far right' = wing
Could I say 'slanted toward the far right' or does slanted only mean a little bit over?
For he sake of grammar, had I meant ' far right', which 'wing' sentence would be the correct one? Would you have used wing if you meant extremist?
