It's hilarious to me that the Post is now viewed as pro conservative. Framing the Post as pro-conservative is like calling Joe Rogan alt right. Finding some of the progressivism that has performed a hostile takeover of the democratic party hilarious, contradictory, and satire-friendly automatically makes you pro-conservative.

The NY Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who has been a conservative-media mogul for over 30 years.

Did you confuse the NY Post with the Washington Post?

How is that funny or surprising? Every source that mentions political leaning of news media says they're right wing.

Is all of the right wing conservative? Is all of the left progressive?

(turns out human beings don't fit neatly into these nice little categories)

> Is all of the right wing conservative?

Yes. That's literally the definition: "the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system."

Idk if it is that simple. Right also often refers to pro-capitalism, pro-business, low taxes.
