The Daily Fire Wire is effectively what happens when you take the worst of Tucker Carlson's takes and turn them into "news". It is a right-wing (often far-right) webshite and media company founded by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing,[1] known for featuring some of the most prominent conservative pundits in America, such as Matt Walsh,[2] Candace Owens,[3] Michael Knowles,[4] and even acquired PragerU in 2020.[5] Like every other conservative website, they are known for homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, white supremacy, xenophobia, and other general crankery.[note 1]

Not so humble origins[edit]

The Daily Wire was founded by Ben Shapiro after he left Breitbart, using a seed fund of several million dollars from the Wilks brothers.

Daily Wire+[edit]

In a vain attempt to compete with Hollywood, the Daily Wire made its own streaming service that only appeals to wingnuts. Ben Shapiro has lauded the streaming service as a competitor to Disney, even though they have no chance to compete with them. The service also a features a children-oriented indoctrination section named "BentKey", of which its most (in)famous production, an animated series called Chip Chilla, was rightfully panned as a blatant ripoff with "conservative values" of the beloved Australian animated series Bluey, as well as their own take on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Snow White", in a painfully obvious attempt to spite at the woke Disney remake of the seminal 1937 classic; while the remake stars Latina actress Rachel Zegler in the title role (whose moonbat criticism of the original film made her a public relations nightmare to the point that even the son of one of the 1937 film's animators lashed out), the Bentkey special unsurprisingly opted for a relatively fairer lead in the form of wannabe "actress" and right-wing pundit Brett CooperWikipedia.

Notes[edit]

  1. We would love to find a conservative website that doesn't revolve around terminal stupidity, batshit insanity, and/or repugnant "moral" values, but we can't find any.
