Im going to assume positive intent here, as my knee jerk reaction is to say no, there are not any right leaning sources that are calling Trump a nazi, nor are they calling Israel genocidal maniacs.
Barring that, this isnt really a one-sentence answer kind of question. What is "right-leaning"? What was "right" 30 years ago barely crosses into center now. So news sources that you see labeled as center would have been your primary sources for right wing news.
As far as factuality goes, there is a deep seated campaign around for profit, national multimedia companies to spoonfeed the masses straight up lies, and its working. I want to emphasize that this is a propaganda machine designed to divert pressure from the blatant robbing of the majority of America to feed the top 0.1% of people. You will not find truthful right leaning sources, and moreover, it will be difficult to find truthful LEFT leaning sources, especially around Gaza.
Smartest comment in the thread imo. There can be good reasons for seeking a variety of ideologically leaned sources, but even the question of who is biased is a politicized question, and it won't necessarily have anything to do with truth.
And as you noted, they change over time. E.g. "iraq war was bad" used to be considered an extreme far left position, though now it's closer to a bipartisan consensus. "We need to avoid regulatory uncertainty", "we need to curb judicial activism", "deficits are bad" used to be right wing positions.
