I have found the NRO runs the full gamut of the right, from total wack-o lunatic paranoid fringe cases to hardened fascist ideologues to the rational but misguided. There is plenty there that would be at home in Breitbart or Fox.

I think conservative outlets face a problem. They don't survive if they don't throw red meat to their base, which has a core group of lunatics in it. The center-right, outside of a couple libertarian outposts, is no longer capable of supporting its own political infrastructure. Politico tried to be a center-right outlet, but soon found mostly the left read it. The Hoover Institution used to be viewed as hard-core establishment right, and is now seen by the right as a bunch of liberals with the occasional eggheady beta-male.
