The Daily Caller is a news site in the United States with a focus on original reporting and breaking news. Founded by journalist and political pundit Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel, former advisor to former Vice President Dick Cheney. The Daily Caller launched on January 11, 2010.

Staff

The editorial staff is led by executive editor Megan Mulligan and features reporting from White House correspondent Jon Ward, formerly of The Washington Times, Alex Pappas, Jonathan Strong, and Gautham Nagesh formerly of Government Executive. The site also features a humorous blog written by Jim Treacher and a second, news-centered blog Eye Street run by Mike Riggs, formerly of the Washington City Paper. Moira Bagley edits the opinion section.

Ideology

In an interview with The Politico, Carlson said that The Daily Caller will not be tied to ideology but rather will be "breaking stories of importance". In a Washington Post article, Carlson added "We're not enforcing any kind of ideological orthodoxy on anyone."

Opinion contributors have included Arianna Huffington, Newt Gingrich, Andrew Breitbart and S.E. Cupp.

RNC night club story

On Monday, March 29 Daily Caller reporter Jonathan Strong reported that the RNC reimbursed a staffer almost $2,000 for an evening spent with donors at Voyeur West Hollywood, a nightclub featuring topless entertainment. The resulting media backlash led to the firing of Allison Meyers, the staffer in charge of the Young Eagles program that submitted the expense report.
