txswinner, apparently you have missed the whole point of this thread. The examples you list are not jouranlists or reporters, they are entertainers and commentators. The question I asked was what *major* publication has a *right* leaning stance.

How about this for a start New York Post.
The Murdoch years
While in the past the newspaper had been a long-established politically liberal stalwart, in recent years the paper has adopted a Conservative slant, reflecting Murdoch's politics. Murdoch imported the sensationlist " tabloid journalism" style of his British papers such as the - The Sun typified by the Post's famous, April 15 1983 headline: HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR and even rerunning The Sun's famous GOTCHA headline, this time in regards to the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi instead of the Falklands War.

Come on Ray your really should learn to do more of your own research. How about the New York post, is that far enough to the right for you? It should be it is owned by
Rupert Murdoch he also owns Faux News among other media outlets all over the world.Im not sure what the circulation is of the New York Post , but I am sure your capable of finding that out.
You say who is Rupert Murdoch?Well hang on to you seat belt bunky, your about to learn. Murdoch owns the
Weekly Standard, the neocon journal that employed key figures who pushed for war in Iraq. According to the
American Journalism Review, the circulation of Murdoch's Weekly Standard is around 65,000.Im sure you have at least taken a peep into the Weekly Standard havent you?
Good old
Rupert, put George W. Bushs cousin John Ellis in charge of [Fox's] Election Night vote-counting operation (seems that cousin John lucked out that night doesnt it Ray) New Yorker 11/20/00.
Here is another little bit in info Ray, As a former News Corp. executive told Fortune Magazine, Murdoch
"hungered for the kind of influence in the United States that he had in England and Australia" and that meant
"part of our political strategy [in the U.S.] Was the New York Post and the creation of Fox News and the Weekly Standard. (Fortune Magazine)
Another little tidbit of info that you just might be interested in Ray, while both American and British politicians strenuously denied the significance of oil in the war, the Guardian of London notes, "Murdoch wasn't so reticent.
He believes that deposing the Iraqi leader would lead to cheaper oil
. Murdoch said before the war, "The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy...would be $20 a barrel for oil. Wow I do believe it was at about seventy five today wasnt it? (Guardian 2/17/03)
Dont run off Ray there is a whole lot more in his right wing empire, According to, Fox News Channel Murdoch threatened to sue the makers of 'The Simpsons' over a parody of the channel's right-wing political views .
Wow this loveable crusty old dude even threatened to sue the Simpsons.Most likely has a secret crush on Ann Coulter.
Lets take a look-see where this old goat gets all of his power and money Ray. It seems that he owns a company called
News Corporation that it is the world's leading publisher of English-language newspapers, with operations in the UK, Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the US. The Company publishes more than 175 different newspapers, and printing more than 40 million papers now that Is some circulation isnt it Ray.
Despite a U.S. embargo of communist Cuba, the Washington Post reports,
"News Corp.'s organizational chart consists of no less than 789 business units incorporated in 52 countries, including Mauritius, Fiji and even Cuba. I do believe that im starting to see
global ambition here. [Washington Post, 12 07/92]
Hey Ray im starting to get the feeling that this old dude is starting to
get some clout dont you?
