The Daily Wire's Woes

Over the weekend, news broke via a right-wing influencer on X about another high-profile departure at Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire: Alyssa Cordova, the company’s communications chief, had quietly exited the company. The curious exit came after the outlet’s eccentric co-chief executive, Jeremy Boreing, had abruptly announced he was stepping down from his role to “focus full-time on creative projects.”

Of course, it doesn’t take a degree from Harvard Business School to know that something is afoot at a company when its chief executive and head of communications suddenly vacate their roles. Cordova insisted Monday that she was not fired, but resigned voluntarily (though she would not respond to my inquiries seeking more information, including why she called it quits). Meanwhile, The Daily Wire framed Boreing’s demotion as his own choice—a prospect hard to imagine for someone who once called himself the “god-king” of the company.
