Just under Mother Jones’s, banner reading “Help Elect More Democrats, another article reads, Inside the Right-Wing YouTube Empire That’s Quietly Turning Millennials into Conservatives.
After Trumps’ November victory, Mother Jones reported, when people asking question about the Electoral College, “People turned to the New York Times and the Washington Post, Fox News, and even the Constitution for answers. But few sources were as widely consulted as Prager U’s Do You Understand the Electoral College.” Receiving 850,000 views before November’s election, two weeks later, fifty million people had had viewed this presentation. Phenomenal?
Illustrating Prager U’s effectiveness, Dennis Prager explains that until releasing this video, polls tallied increasing numbers of people supporting abandonment of the electoral college in favor of popular vote for U.S President. After the video, support for removal of the electoral college began steady decline.
Frequent first responses when hearing about Prager University’s lawsuit against Google’s restriction of videos is, “Google is a private company, so how can PragerU win?
The simple answer: Can United Airlines; the Hilton or Marie Callenders legally deny service because of someone’s gender, race, religious beliefs. or political views? However, apparently, businesses can now discriminate because of political preference, Sarah Huckabee, for example.
Google’s claim to provide a platform for all views is false. Google has blocked 8o Prager U videos in homes filtering out pornography and adult material, libraries and schools. Google’s reason for is that the PragerU content is” inappropriate” for children—an absurdity. The truthful reason—PragerU threatens leftists’ agenda.
Responding to the ruling a Prager University states the crux of their argument:
[T]he judge made a “startling omission” when she described YouTube’s own self-description as a “community where everyone’s voice can be heard” no matter their “point of view” as non-binding “mere ‘puffery.’”
PragerU lost its first court battle but the judge left open the door for appeal that PragerU has now filed.
To counteract leftist university and public-school indoctrination, Dennis Prager founded Prager University in 2011.

S. the strongest force the world has ever known.” First, videos were released monthly. A year or so ago, PragerU began releasing a new video weekly.
