According to a study by Harvard University 's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society , '' The Daily Caller '' was among the most popular sites on the right during the 2016 presidential election . The study also found that '' The Daily Caller '' provided " amplification and legitimation " for " the most extreme conspiracy sites " , such as Truthfeed , Infowars , Gateway Pundit and Conservative Treehouse during the 2016 presidential election . '' The Daily Caller '' also " employed anti-immigrant narratives that echoed sentiments from the alt-right and white nationalists but without the explicitly racist and pro-segregation language . " '' The Daily Caller '' played a significant role in creating and disseminating stories that had little purchase outside the right-wing media ecosystem but that stoked the belief among core Trump followers that what Clinton did was not merely questionable but criminal and treasonous . In a campaign that expressed deep anti-Muslim sentiment , a repeated theme was that Hillary Clinton was seriously in hock to Muslim nations . In one of its most frequently shared stories , '' The Daily Caller '' falsely asserted that Morocco 's King Mohammed VI flew Bill Clinton on a private jet , and that this had been omitted from the Clinton Foundation 's tax disclosures . '' The Daily Caller '' also made the " utterly unsubstantiated and unsourced claim " that Hillary Clinton got Environmental Protection Agency " head Lisa Jackson to try to shut down Mosaic Fertilizer , described as America 's largest phosphate mining company , in exchange for a $ 15 million donation to the Clinton Foundation from King Mohammed VI of Morocco , ostensibly to benefit Morocco 's state-owned phosphate company . " In January 2017 , '' The Daily Caller '' posted a video which encouraged violence against protesters . The video in question showed a car plowing through protesters , with the headline " Here 's A Reel Of Cars Plowing Through Protesters Trying To Block The Road " and set to a cover of Ludacris ' " Move Bitch . " The video drew attention in August 2017 when a white supremacist plowed his car through a group of counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville . After the video attracted attention , '' The Daily Caller '' deleted it from its website
