CUCR believes that the Drudge Report is one of the most influential websites on the internet and does provide its readers with accurate information.
Fox News
New York, NY
Fox News currently stands as the leading cable TV Network even though its message conveys to those that are on the right of center. With hosts, such as Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters, and many others, the network has done an excellent job with covering the news and informing its audience about the issues facing the United States today. With Columbia located in NYC, CUCR has had opportunities to participate in interviews, panels, and studio visits with Fox News. We look forward to working with Fox News and we will inform you when we appear on the Network.

Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, founded the Daily Caller back in 2010. It is a conservative newspaper that covers a wide variety of topics, but it focuses mainly on politics.

Although The Conservative Review negatively wrote against Trump in the Primary and the General Race, it still stands as one of the leading conservative websites on the internet. It was originally started by the great William Buckley who was an influential figure within Conservative movement. His beliefs are still ever present in the articles that we see today. In the past, CUCR has hosted the Editor and Chief, Rich Lowry, which gave us better insight into the newspaper and their morals.
