‘The Daily Caller’ vs. transgender people
The Daily Caller is an American conservative group blog that publishes consistently anti-transgender content.
Background
Daily Caller was founded in 2010 by Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel, Carlson’s former college roommate and advisor to Dick Cheney. It was created as a “conservative answer to The Huffington Post.” Foster Friess provided $3 million in startup funding. In June 2020, Carlson was bought out by Patel and left the project.
In July 2010 Daily Caller published leaked emails from JournoList, a private online forum for elite journalists. February 2012 they published several hit pieces on internal operations at Media Matters for America.
In November 2016 Vince Coglianese replaced Carlson as editor-in-chief. In 2017, they founded Check Your Fact, a for-profit “fact-checking” subsidiary wholly owned by The Daily Caller, Inc. In November 2024, Dylan Housman became editor in chief.
In 2020, they founded the nonprofit Daily Caller News Foundation.
Anti-trans coverage
Daily Caller frequently covers anti-trans stories about transgender athletes and healthcare for trans and gender diverse minors.
