Is Daily Wire important in the culture war?

Matt Walsh published an antiLGBT book for kids, Michael Knowles has some pretty good takes; Shapiro has a massive following.

They're weak on some issues but they have been very forceful against vax mandates, cancel culture etc.
They hired Gina Carano after she got fired from Disney.

All in all I think they're doing important work. Their pro Israel stance is disappointing but expected considering it's Shapiro's company.

I don't think they're controlled opposition. They were one of the most forceful voices against lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
