The WSJ is as much to the right as the NYT is to the left, which in actual terms is "not that much, as long as you understand that newspapers have an opinion section that is separate from the newsroom.
There's a sort of "from first principle" theory of journalism currently going around that I can only assume is a misunderstanding of some middle-school civics class. In that world view, any mention of "cars" is evidence of bias in favour of those who believe cars exist.
