  > NYT sits pretty much center left, but feel free to point towards a more comprehensive study. It's sits center-left in that study because the study centers around the center of US media coverage, not any principled definition of political center; the NY Times viewpoint is, and has long been, neoliberal corporate capitalist, which is a center-right position (the same center-right position which was held by the dominant factions of both US political parties in the neoliberal consensus of the early 1990s, though the Republican Party has since shifted further Right, and the center-left faction has been gaining ground in the Democratic Party in the last several years.)

In that case, I guess anything to the right of that minority (i.e. everything) would be see as right-wing. Unfortunately, that's not the actual center. A better descriptor for those groups is 'far left'.
