The Daily Wire Responds to the Haters Rooting for Its Death

In this Daily Wire article, Ben Shapiro responds to recent media attacks and criticism by arguing that The Daily Wire remains a major conservative institution despite layoffs and hostile coverage.

• Shapiro says The Daily Wire has been targeted by recent pieces from outlets including The Washington Post, Puck, and New York Magazine.
• He acknowledges that The Daily Wire has laid off roughly 13% of its workforce since the beginning of the year, calling the decision painful and difficult.
• Shapiro argues that critics are celebrating the layoffs because they want traditional conservatism weakened or replaced.
• He cites Podtrac rankings and audience numbers to claim The Daily Wire remains highly influential in conservative media.
• The article frames attacks from both the legacy Left and figures on the populist or “Woke Right” as part of a shared effort to destroy traditional conservatism.
• Shapiro defends traditional conservative principles such as free markets, private property, equal rights before the law, constitutional checks and balances, and traditional virtue.
• He criticizes figures including Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly, accusing them of chasing clicks, grievance politics, conspiracy theories, or ideological drift.
• Shapiro says he has not changed his worldview and insists he will continue arguing for “truth, virtue, and freedom” even if that costs audience share.
• The piece concludes with Shapiro’s familiar line that “facts still don’t care about your feelings.”
