The Daily Wire

The Daily Wire is an American right-wing media company founded in 2015 by political commentator Ben Shapiro, film director Jeremy Boreing, and Caleb Robinson. The company is a publisher on Facebook, produces podcasts such as The Ben Shapiro Show, and has also produced various films and video series. Its DailyWire+ video on demand platform was launched in 2022, and its children's video platform Bentkey in 2023. The Daily Wire is based in Nashville, Tennessee. While The Daily Wire has an editorial team, many of its stories repackage journalism from traditional news organizations while adding a conservative slant. It primarily covers political and cultural issues. Fact checkers have said that some stories shared by the Daily Wire are unverified, and that the Daily Wire sometimes misstates facts to advance a partisan view. It has published climate change denial, and academics have described its coverage of COVID-19 as "junk health news". Multiple scientific studies have described it as a fake news website.
