I notice a pinhead here makes claims daily caller is rated the same as a couple of mainstream news sources. I call Bullshit. I also notice he doesn't post the explanation of the rating.
Heres the part the moron chooses not to print himself:
actual Reporting: MIXED
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 48/180
History
Founded in 2010, the Daily Caller is an American news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C.. It was founded by Tucker Carlson, a libertarian conservative political pundit, and Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney. The current editor-in-chief is Geoff Ingersol.
<well isn't that special: Tucke Carlson publishes Tucker Carlson>
Funded by / Ownership
The Daily Caller is owned by The Daily Caller, Inc., which does not list its ownership or members. The website was initially launched after raising $3 million in funding from businessman Foster Friess. Currently, the Daily Caller is funded through native online advertising, averaging 30 million+ page views per month.
<Friess has been an active patron of religious and conservative causes. He donated $250,000 to Rick Santorum's re-election campaign in 2006, and at least that amount to the Republican Governors' Association.[19]
He was instrumental in keeping the political campaign of 2012 presidential hopeful Rick Santorum alive by financing a super PAC, the Red, White and Blue Fund, which ran television advertisements on behalf of Santorum, who was unable to run a television campaign with his own funds.[20] According to campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission, Friess's contributions to the Red, White and Blue Fund amounted to more than 40% of its total assets, or $331,000 as of December 31, 2011.[21][22]
In the wake of the 2012 New Hampshire Republican primary, and before the South Carolina primary, Friess told Politico that he was "putting together a challenge grant to encourage other wealthy donors to give to the Red, White and Blue Fund, ... he said [the fund] received a $1 million check" the day after the New Hampshire vote.[23] The million-dollar donation was conveyed in four checks between November 2011 and January 2012.[22]
In addition to Santorum's faith, pro-life stance, and hawkish foreign policy leanings, the possibility of defeating incumbent President Barack Obama was a major component of Friess's decision to back Santorum's campaign.[24] Friess reportedly considered major contributions to American Crossroads, the Superpac founded by Republican National Committee chair Ed Gillespie and former George W. Bush White House strategist Karl Rove.[25][26]
Friess also donated $100,000 to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to help defeat the Democrats' recall effort in 2011. He has reportedly invested more than $3 million in conservative commentator Tucker Carlson's The Daily Caller website.[19] At one of the semi-annual, private seminars held by the Koch brothers in June 2011, Friess was recognized for his donation exceeding $1 million to the Kochs' political activities.[27]
While being interviewed by NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell regarding contraception, Friess said, "And this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it's so – it's such – inexpensive, you know, back in my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly."[22][28]
Friess is also an advisor to Turning Point USA, a conservative youth group which he donated seed money to.[29][30]
In October 2017, Friess said he was exploring a possible candidacy for the Senate challenging Wyoming Senator John Barrasso for the Republican nomination.[31] “When Steve Bannon asked me to run for Senate, it was the first serious request I’ve ever received, and I have committed to him to take time to explore it.” “I only wish I were running against someone other than John Barrasso, for whom I have the utmost respect.” However, in April 2018, he instead decided to enter the crowded Republican field to replace term-limited Governor Matt Mead.[32] Friess was defeated in the primary, coming second to State Treasurer Mark Gordon by 38,951 votes (33%) to 29,842 (25.3%). >
Analysis / Bias
In review, The Daily Caller is a strongly right leaning news and opinion website that has been involved with publishing controversial and false stories. For example, they routinely publish misleading or false information regarding climate change that goes against the consensus of science. The Daily Caller has also published articles by Jason Kessler, a white supremacist who organized a rally of hundreds of white nationalists in Charlottesville. They subsequently scrubbed those articles after the Charlottesville vehicular homicide incident.
The Daily Caller frequently uses loaded emotional language that typically favors the right such as this: DEM NOMINEE FOR FLORIDA GOVERNOR IS PROGRESSIVE MAYOR WITH CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION SWIRLING AROUND HIM. The Daily Caller usually sources their information to credible media outlets, but sometimes they utilize sources that are factually mixed such as the Daily Wire and Questionable sources such as Judicial Watch. In reviewing story content, virtually all favored the right in story selection and wording, while denigrating the left. The Daily Caller also promotes a favorable view of President Donald Trump through promotion of his policies.
Failed Fact Checks
“Former President Bill Clinton and his Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) distributed ‘watered-down’ HIV/AIDS drugs to patients in sub-Saharan Africa.” – FALSE
“Jeanne Shaheen was principally involved in a plot with Lois Lerner and President Barack Obama’s political appointee at the IRS to lead a program of harassment against conservative nonprofit groups during the 2012 election” – FALSE
George Soros-controlled Smartmatic manufactures the voting machines used in 16 crucial states, and those states will be rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton. – FALSE
Indiana Muslims are appalled by a billboard displaying a list of deeds by the Prophet Muhammad even though it is accurate. – MOSTLY FALSE
Washington state has updated their curriculum standards to include teaching “transgenderism” to Kindergarteners. – MOSTLY FALSE
Says Nancy Pelosi was “caught trying to include abortion funding in bill to combat coronavirus.” – FALSE
The Daily Caller has failed numerous fact checks, however they post a significant amount of articles each day. Based on the volume of articles published, versus failed fact checks, they do not fall into the Questionable category, though they are close.
Overall, we rate the Daily Caller strongly right biased based on story selection that almost always favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to numerous failed fact checks. The Daily Caller is a source that needs to be fact checked on a per article basis. (7/19/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 03/17/2020)

@farmerman,
It waren't you. I fell for cj's trolling for the last time. Hell with that little twit. Not as if he posts anything anyone buys into.
It was obvious your reply was to me. You cannot keep your word. I knew this. Now everyone does. You do not honor your wagers. ( proven fact) You do not respect anything, least of all honor.
