Not really; News Corp are right wing and they own a large share of the printed press here such as the The Australian, the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier Mail, etc.

They do not own any free-to-air TV channel. And looking at The Australian and the Herald Sun's articles - nothing suggests that they lean right. But print media is nothing compared to free-to-air TV.

Both lean consistently right in their coverage of the ALP/LNP, immigration, drug policy, marriage equality, etc.

And online news is now more important than either TV or newspapers, and New Corp have a strong presence there, with all their leading papers now online.
