I agree with you. In France, for example, the printed press was much more balanced from day one. It seems to be the case in other countries, too.  

I think there is a bias due to the fact that, for evident reasons - this site in an English-speaking one, we tend to quote media that have an English-speaking website. This means we tend to quote mainly Anglo-Saxon media. Also it seems to me (I might be wrong) that media from other countries that have an English website are most of the time right-wing leaning ones.
