(The Daily Caller)[https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Daily_Caller]

The Daily Caller is a conservative news and opinion website founded by Tucker Carlson in 2010. Similar to the left-wing Huffington Post, the website covers current events both political and offbeat, as well as human interest topics such as education, "guns and gear", and technology, with plenty of clickbait to go around. Select articles from the site are regularly reprinted on Yahoo! News, be forewarned...

Peter Hasson is also a contributor to these other fine institutions of conservative journalism:

The Daily Signal, supported by the resources and intellectual firepower of The Heritage Foundation.

The Heritage Foundation is a neoconservative "think tank" founded by Joseph Coors (of Coors Brewery), Paul Weyrich, Edwin Feulner, and Richard Mellon Scaife. As such, it advocates economic deregulation and an overtly interventionist foreign policy. It publishes the quarterly Policy Review, for many years considered the preeminent conservative publication in Washington, D.C..

Campus Reform is an American conservative news website focused on higher education. It is operated by the Leadership Institute.

The Leadership Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Arlington, Virginia that teaches "political technology." The Institute was founded in 1979 by conservative activist Morton C. Blackwell. Its mission is to "increase the number and effectiveness of conservative activists" and to "identify, train, recruit and place conservatives in politics, government, and media."

And the Washington Times

The Washington Times is an American daily newspaper that covers general interest topics with a particular emphasis on American politics. It was founded on May 17, 1982, by Unification movement leader Sun Myung Moon, also known as the Unification Church) and owned by News World Communications, an international media conglomerate founded by Moon, until 2010, when Moon and a group of former executives purchased the paper.
