I wonder if it's just impossible to find serious right-leaning journalists that aren't full right wing, since journalism is already heavily liberal, full of institutional bias, and few people are willing to work for peanuts.
The Economist is a bit unique in that their "classic liberalism" editorial viewpoint doesn't neatly fit into America's current tribal division; in America I've heard it called both "right-wing" and "left-wing" as a result.
Such shows a danger of trying to pigeonhole every editorial stance into "left" and "right" categories. It would be nice if we expanded beyond these somewhat artificial opinion collectives.
Does full right wing even have a coherent meaning?
edit: Which I realize now is poor phrasing. When I say "coherent", I'm not talking about right wing ideologies being coherent or not, I'm asking if there is actually a bundle of beliefs that have extremes that can meaningfully be taken together. Some ideologies embrace national defense, others are less concerned with it, others consider it at odds with personal rights, and so on.
I'd consider the responsible center-right newspaper to be the Wall Street Journal. As for news/opinion magazines, there's Commentary, The American Spectator, National Review, The Weekly Standard. I'd consider U.S. News & World Report to be an establishment conservative outlet, too.
I lean to the left, but I enjoy the writings of McArdle:

who is solidly libertarian. She tries to argue her point logically, and in cases where I still disagree with her, I can respect her perspective.
