The Daily Wire

The Daily Wire places itself in the “right-of-center media landscape”, says it does not claim to be without bias, and bills its flagship Ben Shapiro Show as a “conservative podcast”.

Editorial record means the rating rests on the outlet's documented record, such as its editorial board's endorsements, the stated purpose it was founded for, its opinion lineup or its published commitments such as an ethics policy. Scope: Whole outlet · US politics. Confidence: medium. What these mean

Evidence

• About page: founded by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing; says it “does not claim to be without bias”; owned by Bentkey Ventures, LLC. “something unique in the right-of-center media landscape” (The Daily Wire)
• Daily Wire page for its flagship show. “savagely irreverent conservative podcast on the web” (The Daily Wire)
• Standards & Policies page: says its podcast hosts, opinion writers and editorial staff are “forthright about their ideological and political perspectives”. (The Daily Wire)

Limits of this rating

• The Daily Wire places itself “right-of-center” on its About page and bills its flagship show as conservative, so confidence is medium; a reviewer could read it as lean right.
• A record-based rating describes the outlet's stated positioning and lineup, not its accuracy or every news report.
