Being against government censorship is "right-wing" now? Interesting...
Funny, because you could say the same about the ACLU, but swap progressive/conservative.

"a reason to decline taking a free-speech case “the extent to which the speech may assist in advancing the goals of white supremacists or others whose views are contrary to our values." In selecting speech cases to defend, the ACLU will now balance the “impact of the proposed speech and the impact of its suppression.” Factors like the potential effect of the speech on “marginalized communities” and even on “the ACLU’s credibility” could militate against taking a case."

Your list looks impressive. But what cases did they choose to not accept that aren't listed there?
Now it apparently means "subscribes to currently trendy theories of social justice."
However, that was a very specific and rather recent change. ACLU before that change can still be seen as a model organization that threw its weight behind causes regardless of whether they were "left wing" or "right wing", so long as one of its principles were affected.
If you agree that NCLA is objectively right-wing in their supported causes, then that’s all that matters here.
I deliberately parodied your words. If you think a non-profit should be non-partisan (a reasonable argument, by the way), then Media Matters should be as well. Correct?
Or maybe a vast number of 501(c)(3) organizations support only causes associated with one side or the other, and your criticism is highly selective.
Notice I didn’t say all non-profits should be non-partisan.
I said that organizations concerned with civil liberties should pursue those rights in a non-partisan manner if their intentions are genuine.
Non-profits are free to adopt whatever slant on civil liberties or any other issue they care about, as long as they don't support political candidates or parties, or otherwise violate the IRS's rules.
Can they be credible if don't support any right wing causes?
That seems naive. LGBTQ organizations are going to naturally bias heavily liberal. The NRA is naturally going to bias heavily conservative. Quite a few of our civil liberties are deeply partisan.
