Abstract
In any society there is a link between social-intellectual (ideological) views and discursive structures in media. Therefore, it is possible to discover this relationship by clarifying appropriate discursive remedies in text analysis and eventually determining how it is and its application. Some journalists are very skillful in literature, their discussion talent and their ability to manipulate the language result in complexity in language form and also in semantic features. Many fundamental factors are involved in production and comprehension of the press texts. The main objective of the current study is to investigate some of these factors such as powers relations in the society and also political and ideological institutions in press texts. Applying a discourse analysis approach and considering news theories, this study tries to analyze French press texts and explore the ways information is transferred to the addressees through word selection. The findings of this study indicate that mass media (and newspapers) are tools for expanding the ideology in the society because, facing the same issue, they take different positions according to their interests. The investigation of how this information is transferred is possible through discourse analysis. We try to show how French express media manipulate public opinion by using different vocabularies.

Summary
The study of press (media) language is complicated and controversial and its complexity and abstruse functions increase as the time passes. Media are widely present in people’s life and affect all aspects of their social lives in different fields In this process, cultural and political institutions shape the discourse and over the time, the intended discourses with specific goals and ideology penetrate in the society through social institutions in a way that people consider them as something normal and logical and accept it without any resistance and imagine that they are thinking, judging and deciding freely. In addition to each institution’s specific point of view, the discourse of press is in line with the general ideology which is dominant in the society It means that different vocabularies are used to express different political ideas; so a political regime always uses a terminology that can express and convey its point of view. French language can help them to take different positions in face of the same issue
