For me it was seeing Ben Shapiro, today, saying no evidence and referencing the Georgia election official as one who debunked the allegations. That was after saying the video of GA counting unsupervised was debunked – at least in that case he later talked to the lawyer who presented the video (IIRC).
I’m not waiting for a correction, it shouldn’t have happened at all. Not a lot different than saying Snopes fact checked something. I’m done with the Daily Wire.

I stopped watching Shapiro a few years ago when he straight up lied during his show. He was shaking and trembling when he did that, by the way. Very odd behavior from him. Anyway, that in-your-face lie was the end of him for me.
What was the lie?
I wish I could remember what it was exactly. I remember that he was quoting the president and discussing what he did, and stated that Trump did something when he did not do any such thing.
Yeah, that’s real specific. I know.
No worries. Thanks for the reply.
The daily wire has lost another subscriber. I’m done with the idiotic leftist tears.
Something about Shapiro always bothered me but I couldn’t figure out what it was. His views, at least since I subscribed to his YT channel, seemed good. Since the election, I’ve liked his stuff less and less.
I’m also subscribed to Klavan, Knowles, and Walsh. My problems with them at least are obvious to me but they’re minor.
Ben is fairly clever and often has good lines of argument. However,it is plainly noticeable that he enjoys the trappings of fame; and perhaps he has fallen into that trap now.
His ego was particularly noticeable when he spoke with the then BBC’s Andrew Neil, one of our most famous politicial journalists with a record of grilling all sides equally thoroughly, and one of the few to always get an audience with senior political leaders.. (Unsurprisingly Andrew recently left the BBC due to their lefty luvvie nonsense).
Ben completely messed up that interview, not only answering any questions poorly, but accusing Andrew of being left-leaning, not knowing who Andrew was, and having a hugely inflated opinion of his own fame, especially in this country. He probably set back the American conservative message a couple of years here, and apologised later on to boot.
I had hoped that this experience had taught him an important lesson about how the principles are worth more than the punditing. But perhaps not.
I too was very surprised by how quickly Ben Shapiro dropped Trump and how the Daily Wire is not really covering the election fraud/steal at all. Instead, they are turning into Entertainment Weekly. Occasionally, I will listen to Michael Knowles, but I can’t listen to Ben right now.
Ben never liked Trump and was a vehement ‘never Trumper’ from the start.
