This is an ambiguous question. The word "right" can refer to several things. It can mean "correct" as in accurate, politically conservative ideas, or ethical or moral acceptability. Since there is no way to know which one is asked, it is best to answer all the most common possibilities.

Accuracy - Accuracy depends on the sites you visit. You should look for reputable sites, compare the answers found on a number of sites, and use common sense. If a site says the sky is green or that people can become spontaneously pregnant without doing anything to cause it, you'd know right away that the site is wrong. Other things are based on opinions, and it is best to choose different sites with different points of view so you can be informed and choose what views are best for you.

Conservatism - Again, this depends on the website you visit. Some are liberal, some are conservative, and the consensus seems to be that much of the internet is biased at least somewhat to the Left. But that depends on the site you visit, as some sites are limited to Conservative views, and some are even extremist in nature. There are also Liberal sites that seem to be extremist in nature, depending on who you ask. So while the Internet as a whole may seem biased a bit to the Left for most people, there are many sites that are biased to the Right.

Morality - The Internet is amoral, meaning it is neither right nor wrong. It is just a tool. A crowbar can be used to get someone out of a car which is about to explode, thus saving their life. That same crowbar can be used to commit burglary or bash someone over the head. So a crowbar is just a tool, and how it is used is up to the user. The Internet is the same way. In and of itself, it is neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. It just is. The same Internet that can spread a wealth of knowledge, help friends communicate, provide wholesome fun, and keep you up to date with the news around you is the same Internet that is used to spread pornography, hatred, illegal content, Computer Viruses, and fraud.
