Conservative Review
The Conservative Review is an American website and brand owned and operated by Blaze Media. It was founded in 2014 by a group of conservative political operatives. The site's stated goal is to "cut through the talking points and the smoke and mirrors ... [by employing] two main tools: the Liberty Score and our conservative commentary."
On September 1, 2015, conservative commentator and radio host Mark Levin was announced as the editor-in-chief of Conservative Review. After starting his show Life, Liberty & Levin on Fox News Channel, Levin stepped away from his editor-in-chief position at Conservative Review.
In October 2016, Conservative Review announced the launch of CRTV, an online television network, with shows by Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Steven Crowder, Mark Steyn, Gavin McInnes, Steve Deace, and Matt Kibbe. Steyn's show was cancelled in February 2017. Gavin McInnes joined the lineup in September 2017, and left in December 2018. Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson joined the lineup in October 2017. Eric Bolling joined the lineup in summer 2018.
On December 3, 2018, CRTV, LLC – the owner of Conservative Review and CRTV – announced that it had merged with TheBlaze to form BlazeTV and the new underlying entity Blaze Media. The Conservative Review website continues to be operated separately.
Conservative Review assigns each federal officeholder a grade based on their "Liberty Score", which is a grade based on the top 50 votes that that officeholder has taken in the duration of a rolling 6-year window, rather than just the last election-cycle.
According to Conservative Review, the rolling six-year window is "a more accurate picture of a lawmaker’s performance than traditional one- or two-year scoring methods. Scores are determined by points earned divided by potential points. Voting with the conservative position earns one point; voting against the conservative position earns nothing. Missed votes are not included in a member’s score."
The Liberty Score has apparently not been updated since March of 2023.
After Donald Trump took office, the Conservative Review was one of a number of conservative media outlets that engaged in a campaign to single out career government employees that they saw as being a part of a "deep state", or "so-called Obama holdovers". The Conservative Review accused Anne Patterson, former assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, of having "fully embraced the policies of President Obama that aligned with radical Islamic actors and alienated Israel." It said that one State Department official was "leftist", citing as evidence retweets by the official of articles critical of Trump, but ignoring retweeted articles friendly to Trump. Many of the articles targeting foreign policy officials were written by Jordan Schachtel, who had previously written for the far-right website Breitbart News.
