Any credible right-leaning news sources out there? (endlesstalk.org)

I have recently came into conclusion that the news sources I follow are almost all either left-leaning or not biased at all. However, I don’t really have many right-leaning sources that I follow. I would like to change this to broaden my spectrum of viewpoints.

However, I am looking for sources that are credible. I have tried looking at r/conservative on Reddit, however literally all the news sources that they use there show up as “mixed” or “low” under the factual reporting category on media bias check: example (and I’ve checked like 15).

So here comes the question: what credible right-leaning news sources are there that actually publish factual information? Right-center are also fine

I think with the right going hard right since 2016, in order to get access to any of the high level right-wing talking heads you have to be "loyal". The second you are not Trump/MAGA will turn on you.They also make money hand over fist selling FUD that is much harder when just presenting facts.

I mean, MAGA sources work fine for me, as long as they actually just cover MAGA-friendly stories. I am fine with them manipulating me with the story choice as I follow a lot of news sources, I am just not fine with them manipulating me with the facts. I am looking for sources that I can be sure that the story covered is actually reputable and don't really need to double-check it for the factual correctness

Unfortunately, facts have a left leaning bias.

We're already seeing it now, but any and all storehouses of previously uncontroversial institutional knowledge will just get labeled "liberal" over time.

It happened to Wikipedia, it happened even to the weather, it's happening to nutrition, and given enough time it will start happening to things like astronomy, air traffic control, earthquake detection, scuba diving, etc.
