The Daily Wire
American conservative website and media company
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.

Why this record matters
“The Daily Wire” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Daily, Wire and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25094513. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2022 and 2023.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
