I think right leaning (in a traditional definition) sort of undersells the current right wing media/political sphere. Its difficult to evaluate the credibility of a movement that is fundamentally, albeit inconsistently anti-institution, anti-intellectual/ anti-education, and believes that coercion is a valid path for the homogenization of a national culture.
Credible news isn't left leaning as much as it is the leftovers of anyone who doesn't belong to a group that is fundamentally disinterested in an objective view. Credible news is only left leaning to the extent that anyone who doesn't fall into the far right wing spectrum is left leaning. Sort of a false dichotomy.

- krapp 1y agoThey're anti-institution because they think institutions have been corrupted by the left - they trust their own institutions. Intellectualism has been corrupted by leftism/communism/feminism/secularism what have you, but they have their own intellectuals. Education is indoctrinating the youth with degenerate ideology and communist propaganda, but they trust schools that hew to their narrative. "Coercion being a valid path for the homogenization of a national culture" is soft selling some very obvious and common right-wing historical policies. IMHO This particular iteration of the right differs from tradition in its self-awareness and chaotic nature, but not in its essential core ideals. It just suffers from the same post-COVID post social media brain rot as everyone else. As far as credibility goes, I think they're as credible as they've ever been. How credible that is is left as an exercise to the reader.
