someone sent this to me and I thought it was pretty well made and articulate for those of you who like PragerU. I think this video can change your mind.

I couldn't watch the whole video, the guy is rambling and off topic. But yes, PragerU is one of the most misleading channels on youtube. If you check the sources, they go back to what they themselves have written. They use the word University, while in reality they are just a propaganda channel funded by conservative millionaires.

What makes Prager effective is that they can make their point in around 5 minutes.

If it takes 32 minutes to debunk 5 minute videos, you are probably rambling aimlessly.

I thought it was a pretty good and deep look into the falsehoods PragerU creates.

There biggest problem is that they make a false assumption (don’t back it off) then build an argument based on that assumption being true.

It is effective though, in that you’re right.

I thought the guy did a good job of debunking those videos. I've never heard of PragarU before but it looks like standard fare propaganda.

Maybe you misunderstood, or maybe I misunderstood... I do support what Prager does. The videos I have have from time to time have been on target. I'll just leave it at that.

PragerU is like Trump University, both cons who benefit from the gullible.

Shows how much you know....its not a university, doesn't offer any degrees or certifications, nor is there any tuition or cost to access their content.

So no, they don't benefit in any way from people watching their content.

So your post is 100% false.
