The Daily Wire is an American conservative media company founded in 2015 by political commentator Ben Shapiro and film director Jeremy Boreing.[2][3] The company is a major publisher on Facebook,[4][5][6] and produces podcasts such as The Ben Shapiro Show.[3] The Daily Wire has also produced various films and video series. Its DailyWire+ video on demand platform launched in 2022, and its children's video platform Bentkey in 2023. The Daily Wire is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
Many Daily Wire stories repackage journalism from traditional news organizations while adding a conservative slant.[4][7] 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.[8][9][10]
