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?

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.
