"Right-wing" and "Left-wing" are not good descriptors to classify political opinions as is well-demonstrated by the "red wave" in the UK during the Brexit votes

"Right-wing" and "Left-wing" are not good descriptors to classify political opinions as is well-demonstrated by the "red wave" in the UK during the Brexit votes where traditional "left-wing" voters moved en-masse to the "right-wing" Tory party, the rapid move of (traditionally socially conservative, fiscally progressive) Hispanic voters from the Democrats to the Republicans and similar phenomena. What is usually dubbed "right-wing" or "extreme right-wing" by "progressives" is more akin to national conservatism, that what is usually dubbed "left-wing" or "extreme left-wing" is more akin to intersectional identity politics and social/political deconstructivism.
So, to rephrase the question, what are some good US-based national conservative new sources? The Daily Wire's "Morning Wire" [1] netcast comes to mind for a reasonably objective view on daily news as seen from a national conservative perspective. For a more "traditional left-wing" perspective I'd have a look at Spiked Online [2] and their netcasts ("The Spiked Podcast" and "The Brendan O'Neill Show"). Spiked is a British publisher and as such are wont to go deep into things which might be of less interest to US-based readers/listeners but they are a good example of how "Right" and "Left" just don't make sense any more seeing as how they would have been squarely on the Labour ("left") side in the Thatcher years but now are considered to be "centre-right" or "libertarian". The BBC was mentioned but I'd not consider this to be a reputable "right-wing" or "conservative" source, the are more neutral/centrist with a globalist tendency. As to the likes of the traditional (or "legacy") cable news providers I tend to stay away from these since essentially all of them are more "show" than "news" - the whole formula of "cable news" does not appeal to me since it has to keep up the pressure since "the show must go on".
