One of the most little-known facts about the conservative media is that there's a lot of crossover w/ media outlets that cater to racists & extremists.
Ben Shapiro provided the best example of this when he bashed "Jews in Hollywood" on a white nationalist podcast

According to Shapiro, "secular Jews" are waging a "war on Christianity"
Shapiro also told his host, racist activist Lana Lokteff, that Jewish media executives were trying to "destroy the foundations of American society" by including more minority characters in films.

Another example of this principle at work has been the Trump White House's repeated granting of coveted event press credentials to an openly anti Semitic Christian broadcaster named Rick Wiles https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/virulent-anti-semite-rick-wiles-has-once-again-received-white-house-press-credentials/
The Daily Caller is perhaps the greatest example of how integrated the allegedly mainstream right is with the racist and anti-Semitic right.
One of its editors was moonlighting for white nationalist Richard Spencer: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/09/a-daily-caller-editor-wrote-for-an-alt-right-website-using-a-pseudonym/569335/

The organizer for the two infamous Unite the Right fascist rallies wrote a number of articles on racist events he personally organized https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/08/14/right-wing-media-provided-home-white-supremacist-he-organized-charlottesville-rally/217616
The Caller also employed a racist former stripper to make viral videos before her views were exposed https://www.salon.com/2017/11/10/daily-caller-gone-wild-tucker-carlsons-site-descends-into-far-right-weirdness/
The religious right outlet "The Federalist" also has a long and troubling record of publishing racists and bigots. https://www.salon.com/2017/12/01/roy-moore-the-federalist-and-the-decay-of-the-conservative-mind/
While mainstream organizations have been wise enough to stop platforming Breitbart after its embrace of racism became widely known, the sad reality is that Shapiro's Daily Wire, the Caller, and the Federalist get tons of free publicity from Facebook and TV debate shows
I can't leave off WorldNetDaily in this thread. It's known mostly for pushing the racist "birther" conspiracy theory but it also employed several prominent racists. Here's the story of one whose alias was "Paul Kersey" via @EyesOnTheRight https://angrywhitemen.org/2020/02/03/hiding-in-plain-sight-the-white-nationalist-who-toiled-inside-a-right-wing-media-powerhouse/
And another, as reported by @hannahgais https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/03/04/emails-reveal-identity-longtime-white-nationalist-propagandist-onetime-conservative-insider
Most people aren't aware that @Alyssafarah, the Trump White House communications director, is the daughter of WND founder Joseph Farah. Have any WH reporters asked her about all this racism in the family business?
